Hi Shivank,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried with my USB key either in USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port, and my
screen connected to either VGA or HDMI port.

All combinations give me the same result: pressing [Enter] makes me
stay in the "Please select boot device" menu.

I suspect a BIOS issue. BIOS information:

BIOS Base Line Version:
UDK2018-V4.0.05759-stable202405-build20241128-C2000-H1600-M700
BIOS Version: NA511C1-V1.0.1-20241128
Computer Type: Loongson-3A5000-LS5CT-V202

I'll try to contact the manufacturer in the hope there is a new version
of the BIOS.

Christophe
