05:43 jnettlet[m]> vpeter: not currently no. We are working on an Coreboot based UEFI bootloader for the SolidPC that would be more flexible in those regards.
08:36 vpeter> Ok, no problem. But I have another question: how to boot uefi only? When I go to BIOS settings and then exits it boots efi. But if I reboot it boots legacy. I tried different BOM config settings and CSM support.
09:15 jnettlet[m]> vpeter: sorry about the delay. For some reason I am not getting notifications from IRC right now.
09:15 jnettlet[m]> regardless, do you have v38 of the BIOS?
09:16 jnettlet[m]> we just recently made some changes for UEFI and legacy boot. There is a setting in the BIOS to only boot UEFI or Legacy, or both
09:34 vpeter> Yes, yesterday I updated with v38 and tried different settings for boot. But for some reason it boots legacy. UEFI boots only if exists from settings. I boot from SD card and have only one entry to select which IS UEFI. Wondering what I'm doing wrong. And I'm booting LibreELEC with syslinux.
10:21 Bluerise> jnettlet[m]: I went to v38 yesterday and now the screen won't turn on, it's all black :/
10:21 Bluerise> but anyway.
10:22 jnettlet[m]> Bluerise: power off the unit completely...pull all the plugs, and then it should come on in the Bios.
10:22 Bluerise> Did that
10:22 Bluerise> but I can try again
10:22 jnettlet[m]> then I recommend you reset all your BIOS settings to the BIOS defaults
10:23 jnettlet[m]> Then you will need to short the battery to reset the BIOS to the defaults.
10:24 Bluerise> oh
10:24 Bluerise> It did come up.
10:24 Bluerise> now that I connected it to HDMI
10:25 vpeter> It is mind controlled from jnettlet :)
10:25 Bluerise> I had a displayport monitor attached
10:25 jnettlet[m]> both should work
10:34 Bluerise> anyway, thanks! works. not a brick
10:47 jnettlet[m]> So far the v38 bios is definitely the best revision so far. I can't wait to get a proper Coreboot based bootloader that works with Windows as well as Linux. All we have is Linux currently
10:48 vpeter> jnettlet[m]: Is it already usable? I'm using only Linux :)
10:49 jnettlet[m]> vpeter: yes I have a coreboot build that will boot Linux. However I need to update it to Intel's latest board support package
10:50 vpeter> When there is something to use let me know.
10:50 Bluerise> Ah.
10:50 Bluerise> Does the coreboot build boot openbsd? ;)
10:50 jnettlet[m]> I actually have a couple meetings regarding it next week.
10:52 jnettlet[m]> Bluerise: I don't see any reason it wouldn't. As long as BSD has a UEFI compliant bootloader
10:52 jnettlet[m]> with coreboot you can have any number of targets to act as second stage bootloaders
12:01 Bluerise> yes, we do UEFI on amd64, armv7 and arm64
12:02 Bluerise> especially on ARM we don't do non-UEFI anymore.
