HD-Audio Support → Disable
SCC eMMC Support → Disable
WIFI Support → Disable
Bluetooth Support → Disable
Auto Power On Configuration → Power On
Important -> Disabling eMMC support will prevent booting to Windows.
The results should like the following screen…
BIOS Setup for OS Selection:
Without this next change, the Power Button will not poweroff
when pressed. Assuming you want this feature…
While in the BIOS Setup as above, go to the “Chipset” → “South Bridge” menu…
OS Selection → Intel Linux
Save the above BIOS changes, reboot.
Optional, choose whether UEFI or Legacy boot is enabled (example: UEFI only), go to the “Advanced” → “CSM Configuration” menu…
Boot option filter → UEFI only
The results would like the following screen…
Save the above BIOS changes, reboot.
Disable CPU C-states: (Optional)
Requires AstLinux 1.5.0 or later
From the CLI:
set-kcmd-cstate help
Read over the help
information, if you want to disable C-states, then…
set-kcmd-cstate disable
Tip -> An added benefit to disabling C-states, it eliminates the high pitched squeal at idle.
