So I received my new x86 board. I'm happy and all, and when I start going through the installation process of an OS ( Windows 10 in my case ) I remember just how DIY-unfriendly everything UDOO really is. Ok I don't want to be a complainer, so let's get to business... I now have had the board sitting for 15 minutes with the Insyde H20 Flash Firmware Tool. I don't think this is normal, it should have completed the BIOS update by now, WTF. Just to add why I knew this ( also this... ) would have gone wrong: right before the red box with the text "Please do not remove the AC power", I read a DOS line ( yes, I have run the updater from the DOS, since I need to update to be able to install the friggin OS ): Error: Allocate Physical Memory failer. ( buffer2 ) Now the only live thing I see is the flashing underline at the bottom left corner of the screen. Nothing else has happened. What the hell am I supposed to do now? p.s. sorry for the attitude but I am really frustrated at UDOO, I have purchased all their boards, and each and every time it has been a nightmare to get them ( sort of ) working.
OK I powered it off, it booted again, and BIOS has remained 1.01. There is clearly something wrong with the board. Will try installing Windows 10 from USB instead of SD ( thanks for misleading and making me waste 6 hours trying to get Windows on the SD card..... )
Windows 10 installed from a USB stick. Is now running. I am performing some tests, then will try to update the BIOS from Windows.
Did the DOS problem from bios 1.01 get fixed? I have: Error: Allocate Physical Memory failer. (buffer2) Using: FreeDOS Is there a bootable BIOS flash file available? (Im currently running FreeELEC with kodi but need to upgrade the bios on my 2x boards.
