Description Cristian Iorga 2015-12-04 17:51:50 UTC 
On Intel NUC DN2820FYK (Atom based), Yocto Linux is unable to start correctly due to bootloader. The EFI boot method is used.
Core based NUCs work fine.

meta-intel HEAD: 1ce13b3d39b2da79916e3a175cee6baa507290f1
poky HEAD: 698c74c373110ed081a7586e21d4a27b8b44c89b

The system gets past the options of boot or install, but the screen goes black and after some time the system returns to the bootloader (grub) menu, but it is stuck, no option can be selected.
Comment 1 Cristian Iorga 2015-12-04 17:52:46 UTC 
Workaround:

Add EFI_PROVIDER = "gummiboot" into conf/local.conf file for your build dir.
Comment 2 Saul Wold 2016-02-01 22:48:23 UTC 
Retested this with 3 different NUC and minnowboard MAX/Turbot and could not 
reproduce this issue, not sure if this is specific to the FYK, which I think is 
an older NUC (EOL'ed)
Comment 3 Bogdan Alexandru Voiculescu 2016-05-11 12:27:10 UTC 
Since this NUC is EOL, wontfix anyway.
On other NUC is working ok.
