Another option is to make an image that has the firmware flashing

It was having some issues with the USB (it showed "set sel for device-initiated u1 failed"). I was debugging it and I was messing around with the firmware settings and I ended up disabling USB. Now, I cant get my usb disks working nor can I change settings on the firmware as keyboards are not working.
