    <thetext>A challenge here is that the firmware is 32 bit, so by default we build 64bit binaries for syslinux and grub-efi - which don&apos;t run on this system :/</thetext>

    <thetext>The n450 BSP in meta-intel is in the unfortunate situation of being saddled with 32 bit firmware despite being a 64 bit system. We coud convert this to x86_64, but doing so builds the boot loaders (e.g. grub-efi) as 64 bit, which the EFI shell will not execute, expecting a 32 bit payload.

While it may be possible to build the EFI bootloader as a different arch than the target, I don&apos;t feel it would be worth the effort to make it 64 bit as the board has a maximum of 2 GB of memory anyway.

Closing as WONTFIX.</thetext>
