  • Should I upgrade my firmware?

    I just received a new APU2E4 board from PCEngines today. I discovered that it has Coreboot from 20170228 and SeaBIOS rel.1.10.0.1, so I am wondering if it would be advisable to update this to the latest firmware? Should I use 4.16.0.1, and is it as simple as this?

    • Install TinyCore to a USB stick
    • Copy the .rom file to the USB stick
    • Boot from the USB stick

  • How can I change the boot order?

    First-time user of a brand new APU2E4. I have used a USB stick to install OPNSense to my MSATA. I also have an SD card inserted. When I boot, if I do not press F10 and choose the SSD to boot, the system just hangs on

    Code
    1. PCEngines apu2
    2. coreboot build 20170228
    3. 4080 MB ECC DRAM
    5. SeaBIOS (version rel-1.10.0.1)
    7. Press F10 key now for boot menu
    9. Booting from Hard Disk...

    I am guessing this is because it tries to boot from the blank SD card. If I choose the SSD, the system boots fine. I installed the system to SSD because I assumed this was better than SD (and it is recommended on the PCEngines page). How can I change the boot order so that the machine boots from the SSD instead of hanging?
