Scott informed me that 32-bit Debian Jessie (8.0) does support UEFI. Wonderful! But I'm chicken: there is no 32-bit UEFI live image and I don't want to install without trying. After all, there may well be unsupported bits on these screwy devices. (Sadly Linux distros seem to be weak on touch, one of the strengths of these little devices.)
Hi Hugh, I actually took a run at this properly a few weeks ago. In my case I was playing around with a pair setop box like devices I own. Finding #1 The 32bit UEFI support is in the Multi-Arch iso. Finding #2 The nightly and daily builds seem to be broken at this time. Grub fails to find it's own menu. (GRUB has uefi support). Finding #3 The 8.2 multi-arch ISO boots, and then things blow up from there, with questionable kernel / hardware support. Hence why I was trying the nightlies. So... Yeah, I'm going to need to revisit this, but the road seems to be there, just some real holes to fill in first. -- Scott Sullivan
