    Ok I graduated to the stupid class by turning off the USB ports in the UEFI bios setup.

    I can still access my Udoo x86 advanced by ssh, so I attempted to flash the latest UEFI image to restore factory defaults.
    I'm running Arch Linux with a 4.12 kernel.
    Following the instructions I run the bios updater script as root - it compiles the flash driver but then issues the following error message: "Error: SMI cmd not found."
    Same result if I compile the driver manually and insmod it myself before running the script.
    It reports flash as successful - but clearly nothing has been done.
    I have gcc and kernel headers installed, as per instructions.
    What have I missed and what should I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    I got the same issue when trying to update bios to 1.03 on Debian 4.9.30-2+deb9u5 (2017-09-19)
    It seems that the updater is not update to the new kernel?

    Best regards

    I'm not sure, but you may need "apt install smitools" :)

    edit: nope, its not that :/
