Hello:

Here is some information from Intel's BLDK experts:

BLDK is not dependent on the OS, but rather the OS Loader. If you use a supported OS loader in the OS, such as ELILO or GRUB2, then your Linux OS should boot fine from BLDK.

The GRUB for UEFI is EFISTUB. You can try that. You can refer to some of these links

https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/x86/efi-stub.txt;hb=HEAD https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/x86/efi-stub.txt;hb=HEAD

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI_Bootloaders https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI_Bootloaders

Note that BLDK does not support an OS installation . You have to create the OS image first, then flash the BLDK boot loader to your platform, then boot the OS image.

I hope this helps.
