Gigabyte MP30-AR0
by Gordan Bobic 25 Jul '25

Hi, I am toying with the idea of getting a Gigabyte MP30-AR0 board (despite the insanely exorbitant price tag). Has anyone got the aarch64 CentOS working on one of those? Any special instructions? Also, if I get the ISO, is it bootable on aarch64? Does the installer work? Or does the image have to be used like on 32-bit ARM? Thanks. Gordan

How to Use UEFI on Gigabyte MP30-AR0
by YOYO 09 Oct '24

09 Oct '24

Hello everyone, As I've wrote in url[1], I recently got a Gigabyte Mp30-AR0 (rev 1.1) motherboard from a online second-hand market. Thanks to those helpful Linux enthusiasms, I'm now clear that I should firstly find a way to turn the motherboard from U-Boot mode to UEFI mode. And I saw a discuss thread from this mailing-list(url[2]), especially messages, as url[3] to [6]. I do not want to write UEFI firmware into onboard flash or EEPROM.  Instead, I wish I could put the firmware just in a USB-storage or SD card,  so that the original on-board U-Boot and build-in OpenLinux.  So I would like to boot as Gordan Bobic and Michael Howard had discussed: (Also referring to url[4], [5] and [6].) 1) u-boot (on-board) 2) UEFI (wherever u-boot can fetch it from) 3) grub (off the UEFI FAT partition on the target disk) 4) Kernel (/boot partition) However, I couldn't find out how to set U-Boot to boot as above. One another problem is that, I couldn't get access to url[9], which is mentioned in url[3], [7] and [8]. Thank you for your generous help in advance. Also please pardon my not reply on time because I couldn't apply your advises into use immediately. BTW: Please tell me if there is any need tool like RS232-to-USB converter etc.  Lists of mentioned Urls: url[1]:  https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2024/09/msg00016.html url[2]:  https://lists.centos.org/hyperkitty/list/arm-dev@lists.centos.org/thread/6J… url[3]:  https://lists.centos.org/hyperkitty/list/arm-dev@lists.centos.org/message/C… url[4]:  https://lists.centos.org/hyperkitty/list/arm-dev@lists.centos.org/message/6… url[5]:  https://lists.centos.org/hyperkitty/list/arm-dev@lists.centos.org/message/K… url[6]:  https://lists.centos.org/hyperkitty/list/arm-dev@lists.centos.org/message/Y… url[7]:  https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/arm-dev/2016-February/021839.html url[8]:  https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/arm-dev/2016-March/001743.html url[9]:  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20403943/mp30ar0_tianocore_binaries.tar… Best Regards, Richard Zhang
