I have one, bricked, it has a uefi bios and at the time, the linux
installer had no clue how to deal with it. The only option I could find
in the bios was to disable the tcp chip, which bricked it, and a jtag
programmer and adapter worth more than the odroid is required to restore
it. This is NOT mentioned ANYPLACE is the sales propaganda on their site
or in this link. Had they not been drinking the windows koolaid, it
might have been able to do my job, but AFAIAC, they sold me the s.o.b.
under false pretenses. That bios according to US law, is sick bird as
there is supposed to be a way it can be turned off, but there is not.
