Use Displaylink Monitor on BIOS level
 

Has anyone created an embedded device and used a DisplayLink monitor as primary monitor so that even BIOS notifications are displayed on it. We are investigating the use of a 7" touch screen monitor built into the PC and want to not only use it as primary monitor, but also re-route all BIOS and windows startup screens to the this monitor. Has anyone done that?

We are planning on using Win7 embedded.

Many thanks for any info.

No - DisplayLink displays are not currently supported by PC BIOSes.

Does DisplayLink support UEFI BIOS now?

I'd also be interested to hear if DisplayLink support UEFI BIOS now, or if there is a new way to have DisplayLink show the BIOS content? 6 years is a long time, so hopefully this is now possible! I have problems with Windows switching into checking for corrupt disks after a bad shutdown, which prevents the DisplayLink drivers being loaded.
