I got my board today but I can't get into the UEFI bios. I have plugged in three different USB keyboards and the unit doesn't respond to the keyboard until well after being into the Fedora boot screen. This means I cannot get into the UEFI bios to change boot orders and install something else.

I also had the same problem of the "^[" characters being added but the CTRL-ALT-F2 seemed to work there.

Please try to click the DEL key after powered on, do not put your finger on the DEL all the time, just click, click more times quickly.

I tried that with three different USB keyboards. One "normal" and two different mini's. The keyboard doesn't even seem to be responsive at all a few seconds into the Fedora boot menu. SOMETIMES, I can change menu items to bypass the countdown, but sometimes it doesn't read the keyboard before the boot countdown expires and just boots into Fedora.

Please figure something else out, that doesn't work.

Sir,

After the fedora system booted up, can you use keyboard to input username and password to login? Or the keyboard does not work all the time?

Aside from the "^[" problem, it works fine once booted.

So, another tech emailed me to press "F11" instead of DEL like the Quick Start Guide says, and that allowed me to get into the UEFI BIOS.

You might want to update the quick start guide.

Now I'm having issues with the onboard mmcblk0 device, but I'm trying to work that out on my own first.
