Select -"Mainboard vendor" and scroll to the correct vendor. Then select "Mainboard -model" and select the name of the board model. Exit back to the main menu. - -To add the binaries you extracted, select "Chipset". Scroll and select "Add a -System Agent Binary" and set the filepath to your mrc.bin file's filepath. -Scroll and select "Add Intel descriptor.bin file" and type the filepath for -your descriptor.bin file.
