Other Intel developer boards I've used had both the UEFI shell and a
settings page, where when you would type "exit" from the shell, it
would drop you to the setting UI where you could do things like change
UEFI secure boot keys, change boot order, etc. I take it then that the
minnow firmware lacks this? (I know it lacks secure boot, but I'm
wondering if it completely lacks a firmware setup options screen...)
what you are referring to is called "Legacy BIOS". Legcy BIOS options
can be included as part of the UEFI build however based on the
minnowboard being targeted more at embedded application space, the
decision was made not to include Legacy BIOS functionality.
most "PCs" current do include the Legacy BIOS functionality, but going
forward most new x86 based designs will only include the core UEFI
support without Legacy BIOS...

JB,
UEFI works very differently that what traditional BIOS features most people
are familiar with.
as you boot, you can stop the boot process and drop into a UEFI shell. this
shell is very similar to a minimal DOS implementation
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/efi-shells-and-scripting
you can view/edit settings from there...

(just called it BIOS to help future googlers ;))
Is there a way to get into the UEFI settings on a stock minnowboard? I
mashed esc and F9-F12 to no avail. I would like to see what options
are exposed, and also boot from a USB CD for installation to a HD.
Much appreciated,
JB
