Hi, ‘Freeze’ means it is hung up forever, and we believe it is caused by an invalid memory access in the firmware code.
Using loading command with ‘-nc’ (no connect) will work fine, but that is kind of expected, as the issue is caused exactly by the connect logic. We do not believe it is possible for device controller to exist without a device path protocol in the wild. Would you please provide an example? If there is something we do not know about, I can imagine introducing a PCD for this logic.
