This is a guide that sets out how I got MC for Linux onto a Gigabyte Brix GB-BXBT-2807. As mentioned here: using this unit as a simple audio player should work fine. As long as it's not used for hard core graphics and kept in an airy location to keep it as cool as possible: It's been a bit of a journey as I'm by no way a Linux guru but I do like a challenge and I don't like to be beaten by a mindless machine. While the cost in hardware and software was not great, the cost in personal time was substantial. When the invoice is presented to myself at the end of the month, I'm sure I'll be in for a shock. Homework The first step is to do a bit of homework and suss out who's done what before. My view was to follow in the footsteps of others as much as possible.

Nov 11, 2014 - I chose this particular Gigabyte BRIX model for review because I. Out-of-the-box in Linux, but was happy to find it works ok (driver rtl8723ae). Mini-PC Barebone (BRIX) Download. By Model Name. Please login esupport.gigabyte.com. How to find model name / serial number.

That's why this protocol is a consolidation of guides from elsewhere. In short, what I found out was that this Bay Trail suite of hardware is geared toward a Windows install world. Turning up with a Linux plan doesn't fit the mold.

Fortunately, there are some cluey people out there who've cracked that nut, so mucho kudos points to them - my thanks. References 1. Hardware - The Butcher's Bill This is what I put together: • Gigabyte Brix GB-BXBT-2807 • Kingston KVR16LS11/4 1.35V 4GB 1600Hz DDR3 SODIMM • Crucial Real SSD C400 128GB SATA3 M4 Series • Audioquest Dragonfly USB DAC I had the SSD in the cupboard from a previous upgrade where it went by the wayside. I also had the Dragonfly to use on my PC at work. Unfortunately, there's some hardware issue with the Win7 Enterprise build and platform that causes pops and clicks.

So, like the M4, it's been re-purposed. As a result, the $ bottom line has been quite restrained. When you've put the kit together, power it up and if it doesn't do so automatically repeatedly hit the DEL key to bring up the UEFI (pseudo BIOS) environment. If you miss your chance, just CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot and go nuts with the DEL key.

If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.

To date the original BIOS (ver F2, release date 2014/07/03) is still current: So, I didn't have to worry about an update. If an updated BIOS is required, you'd need to boot to a Windows / DOS environment and run the BIOS executable. Navigate to Security > Secure Boot and set to Disabled Everything else was left at its out of the box, default state. While you're here, check that: • Boot > Fast Boot is set to Disabled • Chipset > OS Selection is set to Windows 8.X You can read in Ref. 3 & 4 about disabling Secure Boot.

This is one of the Windows-centric aspects that the Ubuntu install has to overcome. Fast Boot is another Windows'ism that has the downside of mucking up the Linux boot process. Operating System Selection Being a Linux noob, I had no real idea which OS was the best choice. To minimise hassles, I decided to swim with the tide and defaulted to Ubuntu and took into account that a comprehensive guide for setting up MC for Linux via Ubuntu had been put together by Awesome Donkey here: Part of the sense of going for Ubuntu is that it's spun off from Debian that MC was coded for and offers a polished desktop environment that has an established history and following.

Operating System Installation I set up the install from a Windows PC. Download the.iso from Ubuntu for x64 (make sure you opt for 64bit, 32bit doesn't play nicely with the Brix. I picked the 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image): You can cut through the fluff by finding a relevant link here - 2. Grab to create a USB installation drive (see Ref. If you use something else - all the best.

Note that Rufus permits you to specify GPT for UEFI that's critical to making the whole show work. Grab the bootia32.efi zip file from paperwastage (Ref. 2 & 3) that you can also find here: Unzip and copy bootia32.efi to the USB drive at [ Drive Letter]:/EFI/BOOT/ (Note: this little step, as in the fact that I didn't know it was required, had me going round in circles for hours. If you look at the Intel guide, they give the impression that there is no other modification required when booting from a USB drive.) 4. Slot the install USB drive into the Brix (also it's a good idea to plug in an ethernet cable to a functioning LAN connection that has access to the interweb - if you try that fancy WiFi stuff you're on your own.
