Thank you! Adding information to get indexed, if you try to boot off of a USB drive on the Framework desktop (e.g. for first time OS install) and see “EFI USB Device (DEVICE_NAME) boot failed.” that can be as a result of secure boot. I disabled secure boot and everything started to work.
I really wish the people who made the BIOS would improve their error messages
Thank you so much for revealing the secret menu! Three usb sticks and hours later, I’m finally able to install an OS. I’ve done this dozens if not hundreds of times over the years, and this is the first BIOS that stumped me.
I don’t have a FW Desktop, but others have posted that you have to hit the F2 key on power up rather than use the setup menu that comes up when boot fails. There are different Setup menus, and only one of them has the Secure Boot setting.
Note that some keyboards default to the F-keys being media control, where you have to hit a key labeled “FN” or something like that first (I noticed that in years past on some Microsoft keyboards). There is typically a setting on the keyboard to have the F-keys default to F-keys instead of media control also.
Okay I spent 30 minutes trying to figure this out… you have to press F2 when the “Framework” logo is showing, not after - otherwise you get into a different BIOS looking menu…. I have to say that’s confusing that F2 is the same button but different results depending on precisely what point in the boot process you are in and that first Framework logo is like 1 second long.
