Hi Liming, Yes, the patch helped and now the initialization is not stuck in a loop. When UEFI runs for the first time, eMMC flash device is blank and there will not be any information or FVB header. Would UEFI create one ? Or do I have to create a volume first before UEFI will start using it ? Thanx.
