NEWS We've fixed the problem of SD being read only. Just download the following link http://download.udoo.org/files/UDOO_X86/UEFI_update/UDOOX86_B02-UEFI_Update_rel102.zip and you'll find inside it a file with the process you have to follow to update the UEFI BIOS, as well as the updater tool. This will be the default BIOS from now on for all the news UDOO X86 boards. Those instead who already have the board have just to follow the procedure in the link to update.
Thanks for the update, performed on a Win10 install per the PDF in the download and copied the required files to the root of C: to make the path easy. also, I tried the first time and failed to ensure I ran the command prompt as administrator. The application still runs but does not flash. Just a warning to prevent others from skipping that key step. Right click on the icon for the command prompt to see the menu to run as administrator before starting it.
Thank you. Took me some time to understand, so here are the steps on Ubuntu: 1-unpack zip UDOOX86_B02-UEFI_Update_rel102/ 2- open terminal in subfolder Linux/x64/ (assuming it is a 64bit ubuntu, otherwise ia32) 3- use the following commands Code: chmod +x *.sh chmod +x ./x64/H* sudo ./bios_updater_x64.sh ../../Bios/0B020000.102
Thanks for your hints, now the sd card is working finally! In addition you need to make sure, that binutils, gcc and kernel header files are installed, otherwise it will not work! Especially, when you have booted a reduced linux distribution that matters.
Thanks Andrea and the poster, I have exactly the same problem (with a Sandisk 32GB micro SD card). I will try to update BIOS to see if it solves the problem.
Hey guys thanks for the update. I'm having a problem using Arch Linux. When I run the updater I got this error: Error: SMI Cmd not found. I was looking on internet but didn't found what package it is. It wors everything well but the SD card as read only
Considering the BIOS update is a one time step, maybe you can boot another OS (win or ubuntu) for one time, do the update and get back to Arch? Just an option (assuming you have enough USB sticks around... ).
Thanks a lot @francescomm! is exactly what I have done. I just booted with ubuntu live usb and upgraded the bios. Then I had had reinstall grub in efi in order to boot again my already installed Arch Linux.
Thanks, I banged my head untill I came across this topic. You may want to add the following (prior to your commands) if you run Ubuntu 16.02 Server without anything installed: Code: sudo apt-get install --reinstall make sudo apt-get install build-essential Unfortunately the bios-update will set all the settings to default. And a few reboots/powercycles were needed to make it recognise my MicroSD again. But it is writable now Btw: Still unsure why in DOS the bios file read gives an error at 75%
