Minnowboard:MaxBios

The MinnowBoard MAX uses a UEFI system level firmware, and provides both the UEFI shell, and a typical BIOS style menu interface.

= UEFI Shell =

The simplest way to get to the UEFI shell is to:
 * 1) Make sure that the MinnowBoard MAX is powered down
 * 2) Disconnect all bootable media
 * 3) USB drives
 * 4) SATA drives
 * 5) SD cards
 * 6) Power on the MinnowBoard MAX

At this point you should get a screen that looks very similar to the one at right. This is the UEFI Shell, there are a number of commands that can be done here, and the system can be explored in great depth from this interface.

Places to find more information about UEFI shell and it's commands:
 * https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/uefi-shell
 * http://www.sysadminshare.com/2012/01/efi-shell-commands.html

= BIOS menu = The BIOS menu gives a more traditional way to configure the basic firmware parameters on the system, set the GPIO pinmux states and perform the typical tasks one would expect to do in these menus.

To get to it: exit You should now get a screen that looks like the following:
 * 1) Key-press way
 * 2) Press F2 during bootup to jump directly to it. Prior to powering on the board, start holding down F2, and continue holding it down until you see the BIOS menu. This will not work over the serial console, it's necessary to actually plug a keyboard into the Minnowboard Max.
 * 3) UEFI Shell way
 * 4) Follow the steps to get to the UEFI Shell (above)
 * 5) Type the following:

This is the main menu on the BIOS menu

Continue
This just continues the boot process

Select Language
This adjusts the language that the bios is displayed in

Boot Manager
This adjusts the basic boot options, including what to boot to.

EFI Internal Shell
This will boot to the UEFI shell
