你可以安装gentoo
当安装引导器的时候使用以下命令：
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --removable
/boot是一个ESP分区

you can install gentoo linux
or
compile kernel & install grub to ESP partition, the ESP must be fat32 format

I don't speak English well, I'm sorry

thanks tonyvicky .
I will try gentoo linux and share the results.

My criteria is :
Linux OS should not install on eMMC.
Linux OS should only boot from USB.

I have one query :
Have you tried booting from gentoo Linux without installing it on eMMC ?

Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Gahlyan

Hi tonyvicky,

I tried gentoo OS , but Up squared board did not boot.

Steps :
1. download gentoo OS from https://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo//releases/x86/20160704/ URL.
2. Change the boot order in Up squared BIOS for boot from USB.
3. Plug in the USB.
4. Restart the Up squared board.

Please let me know if I am missing anything.

Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Gahlyan

Actually you only need one ESP and one root partition, then install grub to ESP

Did you try to follow the Ubuntu instructions for UP2 board?
