To update the Bios itself, with a pure simple download command function, first looking for a newer version at Soekris and then the bios shows you up the new version and gives us a download option, would be very cool. Perhaps with an onboard soldered TPM modul for having an encrypted tunnel to the Soekris comBIOS update server, to secure the connecting and let us getting clean and uncompromised code. Or downloading the newer com Bios, store it on an USB Stick, stitch the stick in the USB port during the next boot process you be ask for updating it. Not in the Bios, but a CD/DVD USB boot option should be nice! Or the support of DeLock SATA to CF Card bracket support, would be a fine and wicked thing. > Like with the Apple Macbook, where it's possible from the EFI/UEFI to get the OSX > image from Apple via the Internet? Apple is offering both, the hardware and the OS or do you mean Soren should sit down and code a "Soekris OS" perhaps? And where you want to store the download local or at a network path. > It would be so cool if i just to add an url to the BIOS during boot, pointing out the OS > image, and install. Downloading an OS ISO image and storing it on an external USB DISK and install it from there would be even also a very nice option, is it?
