I must live at confused.com. Well, I seem to currently, as am having headaches trying to get the UEFI Shell application onto a bootable USB memory stick. I think I need the memory stick to have a GPT (GUID Partition Table) and a System Firmware Volume format thing, or something, format it as FAT32 (or FAT/FAT16?) as well as then putting the file at

ta AG ; Asus P8P67 deluxe (I got that make as I've one already, so as well as some UEFI hardware to play with, it doubles up as a backup in case main PC visits TitSup.com)

Had sussed out that there were several Shell.efi files in the edk2 tree, after using the one from EdkShellBinPkg\FullShell rather than ShellBinPkg\UefiShell\X64, and telling BIOS setup to use UEFI: boot rather than legacy boot (and also not trying to use the BIOS boot option to find & run the EUFI shell as that seems to tyr to load but then hangs the PC), with the right x64 file on the FAT16 primary partition on a USB memory stick now I've been happily pootling around with the shell on the motherboard the past few days :)

Shell cmd "drivers" prints a couple of lines of driver details and then hangs. Other than that it all seems quite functional, yay for real hardware to play with!

Wondering if one can ssh into the UEFI shell to get a decent sized terminal 'stead of the VGA sized screen (mode 100 31 at best). I'll have to re-enable some of the onboard peripherals (ie intel NIC) in BIOS setup and see if PXE kicks in or something...

No remote console AFAIK, and certainly no sshd, unless you have a full featured Management Engine, but even then you would be limited to the screen resolution in use so it would not help. You could always write one though...
