intel atom Z3735F with 32bit UEFI

[alexis jeandet <alexis.jeandet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I succeed to install a fedora-22 workstation x64 on a ZOTAC ZBOX
PI320-W3 with an ugly 32bit UEFI bios. It's not straightforward, you
need to(at least what I did):

-make a normal live USB key with fedora-workstation x64
-build grub2 for 32bits target with this help
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting 
-then you need to rename the generated grub.efi to bootia32.efi
-Weird thing, it boot only if you replace in grub.cfg linuxefi and
inirdefi by linux and initrd see grub.cfg.
-once installed I use grub_2.cfg(attached) and I copied again the
previously compiled grub2.

Did I miss something or is supposed to be painful like this?
All the steps I did are just some dirty test to get quickly something
working.

I guess I'm not alone to use such device since it is pretty low cost.
I would be happy to help by testing stuff on my device, if there is any
interest to support this devices upstream? With something more elegant?

Best regards,
Alexis.
