https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D272731 --- Comment #4 from Werner Lehmann <lehmannwer@gmail.com> --- Hello Warner, thanks a lot for putting me in touch! As you have been informed already by = my e-mails during the last few days, you already know that the bootia32.efi fi= le that was forwarded to me works perfectly well on my Intel Atom Baytrail dev= ice! So we can actually say that the work is done! As I also explained in my e-mails, my overall impression of general performance and graphical perform= ance on that Intel Atom Baytrail with Intel HD 620 Graphics is very positive! So as I have seen in the 14.0 Release Process that the code slush / KBI fre= eze is scheduled for the 4th of August 2023, so in a few days, I guess it would= be possible to include the support for 64-bit machines with 32-bit UEFI firmwa= re already, now that we know it works? As you said yourself in the mailing list last May, this was asked for in the forums many times, so I think that there are quite some people who would li= ke to see that finally happen and could benefit from that. Another thing of course is missing hardware support for a few things, like = the ACPI battery feature (but the person who developed the bootia32.efi and the patch for the bsdinstall script already said he was planning on doing that), the sound support and the Wifi module support. As for the latter, I have already seen an open request, where I will add my comment shortly: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D251063 Thanks! --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
