BIOS update Update 3/2017: various fixes, iPXE with setup
Update 3/11/2016: add iPXE payload (cannot disable in setup yet)
Update 3/7/2016: add SD boot support
Update 2/11/2016: fix some performance leaks
Update 1/20/2016: fix miniPCIe IRQ assignments, wle200nx working

Please see Howto collection for instructions on BIOS upgrade.

Update apu2e: Changed battery socket footprint to avoid contact problems. Add signal integrity resistor for core voltage control signal.
Update apu2d: Reduce leakage current between V3 and V3A power rails (can cause problems with SD cards). Add options for better compatibility with LTE modem modules.
Update apu2c: Integrate blue wire patches (EMI, power-up circuit) into PCB fab.
