Best Practices for Configuring BIOS Settings in a Production Environment

anfr

I'm currently working in a production environment where we need to configure BIOS settings for various parameters, including HAT configurations, which can be quite tedious.

USB boot with Linux and fwupdmgr: I tried this approach, thinking it would provide a convenient way to manage BIOS settings in a bash-script.
However, I received an error message stating, "The system doesn't support firmware settings." Has anyone else encountered this issue, and is there a workaround?

EFI shell: Another approach I've considered is using the EFI shell to configure BIOS settings, if it is possible to script it.

So, my question to the community is: What is the preferred way of setting BIOS settings for different parameters in a production environment?

Thanks!
