@abthegrooveking Nice to hear that my boot manager worked for you (the 2 times).
It would be interesting, if the new PBM6 (BIOS version) boots USB on the tiny device in the video.

[Elmar Hanlhofer @PlopEHan]

@abthegrooveking It seems finally he is able to boot Linux.

@Zdenk62065343 What do you mean exactly?

[Elmar Hanlhofer @PlopEHan]

I released a patch for gnu-efi 3.0.15 to extend the support for UEFI functions that have eleven parameters. I came over the problem when I added the USB gamepad support to PBM6-EFI last year.

#PBM6 BIOS/Legacy

@VincentDegr1975 PBM6 BIOS/Legacy is written in pure #Assembler 😀
A complex program, but my macros (available for free https://t.co/pwNnafeIBB) makes it easy to create functions with parameters and local variables.

PBM6 EFI is witten in C 😀
