Wow. They recommend some Linux x64 system but show all their examples as
PuTTY under Windows.

Their SPI process looks like it could be cleaned up a bit.

The secure SKU? Stupid. Blocking on boot generating SSH keys when you
are low on entropy. Stupid, stupid, stupid Intel. Please don't do that
in real life people. It's barely better than removing the entire known
hosts files just because SSH complains, *rather than investigating the
problem and modifying the **one** problematic entry*.

Where's the problem exactly? Seems like this is an EFI system but no
hints of that in the SD card boot per se instructions.
