When adding support, we tested normal boot from UEFI - USB, SATA and RTC work fine on HEAD (now the latter should work as runtime service, but I didn't have time to test Andrew T. patches). What firmware did you use? Please check my howto, pointing to the updated sources, which allow to build UEFI image for the board: http://wiki.macchiatobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Build+from+source+-+UEFI+EDK+II > I'll be trying the espresso.bin board (Armada 3700) next. > Ok, please let know how it goes.
