Hi Kory, I'm not sure what the proprietary software is, but you're going to want to use flashrom or a hardware flash tool instead of the proprietary software to flash the ROM. https://www.flashrom.org/Flashrom And just since it always needs to be said: You need to make sure you have a backup

Hi Zoran, Thanks for the detailed inputs. You are right we were using EHCI in BYT and we used it with grub2 without any issue. If I understood it correctly the usb 2.0 card I was planning to use over pcie is not going to work as we can't mix with usb3.0 root hub, so not worth even trying that

Hi, Sibi， Yes, UEFI payload follows the same way as standard UEFI FW on boot order handling. You will have to enable a NVRAM variable driver in order to maintain the boot options and order. Current UEFI payload uses an generic emulated variable driver provided in EDK2 MdeModulePkg. With
