[SOLVED] Stuck at EFI framebuffer

[markl]

Hi

I have a new mini PC from Topton (Aliexpress) described as "New Firewall Mini PC 4x Intel i226-V 2.5G Pentium N5105 Quad Core DDR4 NVMe Fanless Soft Router HD DP Type-C OPNsense ESXi".

BIOS states:
BIOS Version 2.22.1282
AMI BIOS Ver: JK4LV105
JasperLake ULX
Intel Celeron N5105
ID 0x906C0
Microcode 1D
4GB RAM (2667 MT/s)

PCH Information
PCH-N
JSL-N Y Premium
A1

ME FW Verersion: 13.50.20.1673
MR Firmware SKU: Consumer SKU
PMC FW Version: 135.3.0.1036

I have downloaded and installed OPNsense 23.1.2-amd64 (FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p7, OpenSSL 1.1.1t 7 Feb 2023) onto a Netac 128Gb SSD.

When I boot, the HDMI screen stops at the EFI framebuffer output as per the attached.

EFI framebuffer information:
addr, size 0x4000000000, 0x7e9000
dimensions 1920 x 1000
stride 1920
masks 0x00ff0000, 0x0000ff00, 0x000000ff, 0xff000000

I have already tried turning off "vt" in the settings and that doesn't help.

This is still in the lab so I can try anything required.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

I didn't notice that there was an upgrade until I was re-reading the forums however it now works with "vt" mode switched on and the latest version (OPNsense 23.1.3_4-amd64)
