-Auto boot when power is connected

Disclaimer: BIOS update is not officially supported by MeeGoPad. MeeGoPad will not repair bricked devices because of BIOS upgrade. Think of regular consumer laptops, they usually do not get BIOS updates because of the high chance of bricking your device. 

Use the infomation in this post at your own risk. Make sure you have super secure / constant power supply to your T02 when upgrading.

The update works, auto-power on is provided, thanks for that!!
One thing, after the update, I can´t see anymore the internal storage (mmcblk) of the T02 when using Ubuntu.

Hi I am not sure about the internal storage on Ubuntu. I haven't been able to install ubuntu myself as it never sees my USB drive from boot options. I will keep trying that.
As for step by step instruction I would assume you have to unzip the file and then run the installation script.

Hi, to boot Ubuntu from the T02 just be sure your USB stick has a GPT partition scheme and a 32bit EFI loader. Using Win32Imager with Ian Morrison's image (https://plus.google.com/+IanMORRISON/posts/fE4YvmmxvY7?cfem=1) works very good.

This is a slightly different BIOS from Intel that supports autoboot. Thats all. No need to upgrade unless you want autoboot when power is connected.

I personally do not think so. But if there is no urgent need of auto-boot, then I would not bother upgrading.
