[MinnowBoard] How do I boot from an SD card using the EFI shell?

[Bill Traynor]

You can try this: {note that these are instructions from the Windows
IoT page, but should work the same for any sdcard I believe} Source
page: https://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/win10/SetupMBM.htm

When you boot, press F2 to get to the BIOS settings.
Navigate to Device Manager -> System Setup -> South Cluster
Configuration -> LPSS & SCC Configuration

Set “LPSS PWM #1 Support” to Disable
Set “LPSS PWM #2 Support” to Disable

Navigate back to top level and select Boot Maintenance Manager-> Boot
Options > Change Boot Order
Highlight the boot order list (when it is highlighted, you will see
“Change the order” on the right side of the screen) and press enter
Highlight “EFI Misc Device” and press ‘+’ to move it to the top of the
list. If it does not move by ‘+’, simply select “EFI Misc Device” and
press enter to boot to it.
Commit these changes and exit.

With sdcard inserted, reboot the Max.
