So if I understood the directions correctly, if you have managed to get your hands on a brach with UEFI in it, you use that branch to build the BOOTLOADER_ONLY image.

This can be done by either setting the parameter BOOTLOADER_ONLY inside the runme.sh script or passed as a parameter: BOOTLOADER_ONLY=yes ./runme.sh

You will also need to set the DDR_SPEED.

The purpose of this image is only to boot the system with UEFI and not provide a working userspace filesystem (which is the default settings that uses u-boot)

If the image generation goes through, you should be able to boot the board into UEFI shell at the very least.

If you have a ubuntu-server.iso on a USB, it should take you upto the grub2 boot menu. where you chose to install/try ubuntu-server.

I probably should have chimed in that I found out what's going on.

The UEFI image here (which I've found out does work and I'm just having some weird kernel problems) is being passed around by the community at the moment while they get the new branch ready. There's a Discord chat you can get invited to if you reach out to SolidRun's support. Images built with the old UEFI branch don't work with the rev2 board. Currently I can get Fedora to boot on it and working on getting Debian Bullseye to boot.
