I'm experimenting with a NUC to see if I can make it work. I'd like to try using it as a thin client with an iSCSI boot. However, I cannot figure out how to activate that option. In theory, the embedded 82579LM is supported for iSCSI, however, the bootutil utility fails when I try to turn on iSCSI.
bootutil reports 'Flash not present'. A bootutil -FE reports 'unsupported feature', and all variants of -BOOTENABLE or -UP report:
Option ROM area in the flash is not supported for this device
Also, the IPK tools hang forever trying to download a bios; I can't find a source for the .IPK files that the IPK tool seems to require, so I can't try provisioning the device with the IPK.
Clue bats are deeply appreciated.
Cheers,
Jeremy
