[MinnowBoard] MinnowBoard Turbot firmware version .0097 doesn't recognize USB3 stick as bootable drive...

I have downloaded and copied a debian install .iso to a USB3 memory stick.  When I plug the stick into the USB3 (lower) slot on my MinnowBoard Turbot and try to boot from the stick the UEFI Boot Manager doesn’t see it.

However,

1) If I plug the very same stick into the USB2 (upper) slot, then the UEFI Boot Manager does see it and will boot from it.

2) If I plug the very same stick into a USB2 hub which is plugged into the USB3 (lower) slot on the Turbot, then the UEFI Boot Manager does see it and will boot from it.

3) If I copy the .iso to a USB2 memory stick, the UEFI Boot Manager will see it and boot from it regardless of which slot it is connected to.

Anybody got a clue?
Thanks!
