That's kinda ridiculous. I guess that includes a power supply but it looks like a very basic one, plugs into the barrel jack instead of the ATX socket. I would not be surprised if a full GPU load on a reference RX 480 card just melted that power jack :) > Greg provided an edk2 based image for UEFI and I set the > jumpers to use it from the uSD card slot.

Actually having a port is not a bad idea, there's edk2 for virtual machines (OVMF) already. > (The uSD card choice avoided any potential of messing up > in a non-recoverable way in trying to update an on-board > area. Just my choice to use a simple dd to a uSD card.) It's actually always recoverable. The boot ROM can always boot from uSD and even from the serial port (!): https://developer.solid-run.com/knowledge-base/a388-u-boot/#booting-from-uart (the docs are from another SoC but it's the same here)help
