[MinnowBoard] USB and firmware

[Moses George]

Thanks Cal and John. 

Cal, as for using the startup.nsh, since my usb is not working, I should probably place this on a sd card? And it will automatically be run when the board boots up? I cant use a keyboard. 

Thanks
Moses

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.
