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 Version
Publicly released versions
- MNW2CRB1.X64.0071.R30.1408131301
- Fixed the firmware (NVRAM) stallin issue which caused some board brickings
- Fixed some HDMI monitors from being able to initialize
How to tell your firmware version
- Get to the UEFI menu
- Either boot to the UEFI shell and type:
Shell> exit - Hit F2 during boot
- Either boot to the UEFI shell and type:
- The 3rd line down will be the firmware version
- will look something like:
MNW2CRB1.X64.0071.R30.1408131301
- will look something like:
MNW2CRB1 | X64 | 0071 | R30 | 1408131301 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Firmware Type
MinnowBoard MAX (v2) CRB1 |
Architecture 32-bit vs. 64-bit I32 = 32-bit X64 = 64-bit |
Version Number | Firmware Type
R30 R = Release D = Debug |
Build number
YYMMDDHHMMSS YY = Year MM = Month DD = Day HH = Hour MM = Minute SS = Second |
UEFI Shell
The simplest way to get to the UEFI shell is to:
- Make sure that the MinnowBoard MAX is powered down
- Disconnect all bootable media
- USB drives
- SATA drives
- SD cards
- 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
No bootable devices found
If you boot to the UEFI shell and you get the following (or similar)
EFI Shell version 2.40 [1.0] Current running mode 1.1.2 map: Cannot find required map name. Press ESC in 1 seconds to skip startup.nsh, any other key to continue. Shell>
Then your boot, for some reasons, failed to detect any bootable media attached. Double check your connections and then run:
Shell> connect -r Shell> map -r
If that doesn't work, reboot.
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:
- Key-press way
- 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.
- UEFI Shell way
- Follow the steps to get to the UEFI Shell (above)
- Type the following:
exit
You should now get a screen that looks like the following:
This is the main menu on the BIOS menu
