This manual details the setup, configuration, and customization of Kontron's embedded Linux image for Atom processors. It covers software components like the Linux kernel, X-server, and IceWM window manager, as well as advanced configuration tasks such as kernel building and boot sequence management. The system runs on a read-only CF card with specific directories mounted on RAM for configuration persistence. Users can modify settings via terminal commands or configuration files, including changing runlevels to disable the GUI or customizing key bindings for system functions.
