💡 Known issues

🪄 Can't use armbian-install on uefi-x86

The armbian-install script does not create the right partition layout when using the uefi-x86 images. My best guess is that it does not cater for the EFI partition. As a workaround, you can perform the following steps:

1. Flash the .img to a USB as you would with any other image

2. Mount the USB's root partition and copy the .img to /uefi-x86.img

3. Unmount the USB and insert it into the new device

4. Boot the device and wait for it to come online

5. SSH into the device and run the following command:

   sudo apt install -y pv
   sudo dd if=/uefi-x86.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M

6. Reboot the device.
