Disable SD card boot?

Post by sundqjan »

Is it possible to disable boot from SD-card on fitlet?

Background:
We ship the fitlet to a customer whith everything preinstalled on SSD.
For security resaons it should not be possible to boot from USB or SD card.

We have managed to disable boot from USB in BIOS by changing the boot order. However, SD-card is not included in boot order until it has been mounted. We don't find any other options in BIOS, like totally disable SD card (which would have been a ok solution)

Unfortunately it is still not possible but perhaps you could workaround it.
We're assuming you'd like to boot from a single bootable legacy device.
Please try the following:

1. Configure a single legacy bootable device

2. Set an Administrator password

This way, each time someone wants to boot from an SD card, he'll be asked for password, also accessing the BIOS setup which pretty much disables booting from any other device other than the one you've set previously.
