Hi Fernando,

I have run into the exact same problem! I did e-mail them regarding this
issue, but no response of course.

I have taken a close look at the ISO file provided by Sage - there is no way
in the world that it can boot under UEFI! There is simply no EFI payload.
They are using legacy grub. It can only boot on a legacy BIOS.

I have no idea why they would make all these announcements and then release
something that doesn't even work on the taget platform! As an engineer I'm
not particularly impressed by this effort. I would be happy to be proven
wrong, but I have spent a lot of time already on this and I'm pretty sure
that the installation method they describe is not ever going to work.

I noticed that the ROM file is on the image, perhaps we could use Intel's
flashing utility to perform the flash, but I don't want to make any
assumptions and risk bricking my company's board over this.
