I updated my asus mainboard recently too. It was straightforward: Copy the new firmware image into the efi partition somewhere. Reboot. Select the efi fat32 partition and the firmware blob therein in ez flash. Update.
Why format an usb stick when there is already a perfectly good fat32 partition lying around?
- TillE 4y agoSome BIOSes (Gigabyte, I think) will also read NTFS, so if you've got a Windows install, that's another easy option.
- sebazzz 4y agoASUS also supports NTFS. No need for using FAT32 (what the EFI partition is)
- mixmastamyk 4y agoNo need? It's one of the major use cases for it existing.
- AshamedCaptain 4y agoThe majority of BIOSes support NTFS. Incredibly enough more BIOSes support NTFS than they do exFAT. (Yet another example of the unfairness of the playing field for non-MS OSes).
- jeroenhd 4y agoDoes anyone actually use exFAT? I know it's a simple cross platform file system and all, but every phone, tablet, laptop and desktop OS supports NTFS these days. Especially for read only stuff.
- zamadatix 4y agoDoes Android support NTFS by default these days?
- AshamedCaptain 4y agoIt's the filesystem all SD cards sold today come pre-formatted with. And, by extension, almost all USB pendrives.
