Hi all
Has anyone managed to produce a 32bit UEFI friendly version of OpenElec for Baytrail-T devices (TV boxes, HDMI sticks, Tablets etc.) that have 32bit UEFI only (no legacy BIOS nor 64bit UEFI) ? They usually come with Windows 8.1 or 8.1 with Bing pre-installed.
There's a growing list of machines in this bracket - Zotac PI320 compact PC, Meegopad T01 HDMI TV stick, Pipo X7 and Minix Neo Z64 compact PCs etc. as well as loads of Windows 8 tablets.
I've found Fedlet and an Ubuntu Mate live CD that have UEFI 32 bit support and both boot on a Pipo X7. Be great to get an OpenElec build that worked.
I'm about to try an Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit USB install with a bootia32.efi installed to see how that goes (and possibly follow fritsch's VAAPI guide to see how it performs. The Windows Kodi builds sit at high CPUs and start thermal throttling...)
