Here is the UEFI info for HTTP boot: https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.11/24_Network_Protocols_SNP_PXE_BIS.html#http-boot Most serious computer manufacturers support this by now; the ARM SBC jungle is, as usual, a crap shoot. The past decade in the datacenter has been the long slow battle to move from ipmi and pxe to redfish and httpboot. Sadly, a lot of the networking side is still PXE-based, but progress is happening even there. khm ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tb7d0bba710659dc0-M7ea2a3369bb118794912fcb8 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
