I also have this issue. We have 3x Minnowboards on original launch firmware that are currently useless. All references I can find to current firmware point to the above dead links on Intel's website.

We provided these suggestions based on the fact that the affected device is third-party, and we do not have the information that should be proper for the devices developed by the manufacturer of the project related to the reported situation.

After confirming that there is absolutely no other source as this *is* an Intel sponsored project, I did some experimenting and found a solution. Files are still there, issue is with the URL. Probably a bad script in an update.

Just replace the "www" with "software". Works for all links on the Minnowboard page. For example, firmware is here:

https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/e5/fb/minnowboard-max-rel-1-01-firmware-images.zip

I don't expect them to fix this, will probably just get deleted at some point as Intel has a proven history of doing. So download while you can.
