Successfully able to install and start Ubuntu 16.04 on the MP30-AR0 board using the following work-around. Note a serial console is required:
1) After starting the installer using UEFI shell command FS1:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTAA64.EFI, select 'Install' menu item and click 'e' to invoke the Grub editor
2) Change the Grub menu entry:
setparams 'Install'
set background_color=black
linux /linux acpi=off clk_ignore_unused console=ttyS0,115200 --- quiet clk_ignore_unused console=ttyS0,115200
initrd /initrd.gz
3) Type Ctrl-X to boot the kernel and start the installation process
4) After the installation completes, reboot the system. Now UEFI should automatically boot the kernel, and after a few error messages, the familiar Linux logon prompt should appear
