Kontron does not accept any liability for any printing errors or other inaccuracies in the manual unless it can be proven that Kontron is aware of such errors or inaccuracies or that Kontron is unaware of these as a result of gross negligence and Kontron has failed to eliminate these errors or inaccuracies for this reason.
Intel® Atom™ based Reference Platform for M2M Specification The Kontron M2M System is built on a COM Express module, which integrates with a carrier board to provide a System controller. The Kontron M2M System is a high-performance, low-power module based on the Intel® Atom™ processor. It uses ®...

5. Wind River documentation for Wind River Workbench and Wind River Linux. 6. Eurotech’s ESF Hello World Tutorial and Denali User Guide. The pre-configured LiveUSB environment lets you use Wind River development tools without the need to install, configure, or build anything prior to the evaluation.
Connect an Ethernet cable between the Ethernet port on the Kontron M2M system and a network switch or hub. Also connect your host computer to the same switch or hub. Optionally connect the Kontron M2M System to a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and a display if the GUI Demo is to be exercised.

BIOS settings (and the configuration of the S3 switch inside the Kontron/Intel® Atom™ based Reference Platform). These ports have static configurations and can provide 5Vdc power. DO NOT PLUG USB OTG (On-The-Go) DEVICES INTO THESE MICROUSB PORTS.
You should ensure that your Kontron M2M System is correctly connected and is capable of booting. To do this plug the power adapter into the AC wall socket – there is no on/off switch. The board should begin booting within a few seconds. The Kontron M2M System is preprogrammed with Wind River Linux, which is specifically configured for development purposes.
Starting the Evaluation Software Booting the Host Computer Before booting your host computer, ensure that the LiveUSB flash drive is correctly plugged into a USB port on the host computer. Switch on your host computer. You may have to interrupt the boot process in order to instruct the BIOS to boot from the LiveUSB flash drive instead of the internal hard drive.

Once completed press the Save Changes button and then press the Next button (from the previous screen shot). Fill in your registration details (including a valid email address) and click the Submit button at the bottom of the form. You will be notified when host successfully obtains an Evaluation license. You can then begin using the Wind River host tools.
Starting Your Software Evaluation After the host computer boots into the Fedora LiveUSB environment, you will see a desktop that includes a number of icons, including a link to this document and quick launches to the tools. Check online for the latest versions of documentation. For your convenience, there are several pull down menus under Applications->Wind River.
This approach permits simpler and faster programming, with shorter, easier to read code and transparent portability across different hardware platforms. ESF can be installed into Wind River Workbench and the Kontron M2M Smart Service Developer Kit filesystem by following the instructions at http://esf.eurotech.com/doc/FRI/ESF_Install.html.
Everyware™ Device Cloud (EDC) The Everyware™ Device Cloud is a complete, scalable infrastructure that, working together with ESF, enables the Kontron M2M System to send and receive data to the EDC cloud where end applications or pre-made user designed components consume it.
Recovering Your Linux Image on the Kontron M2M System Your Kontron M2M System comes factory-installed with Wind River Linux and a Tilcon Graphics Suite demonstration. When you reset the target system, you should see the demonstration screen if the optional display is connected.
Making the Evaluation Image Recovery Tool USB Drive Before you make a bootable recovery USB image, you must have booted the host computer from the evaluation LiveUSB drive (or from a development workstation that has had the LiveUSB contents installed on its hard drive). Then: Insert a second USB flash drive that is 2 GB or larger into your host computer (Note: This is not supplied as part of the kit).
Disconnect the power adapter from AC power again to turn off your system. Disconnect the evaluation image recovery tool USB drive. Reconnect the power adapter to AC power to turn on your system. The Kontron M2M System target now boots into the Tilcon Graphics Suite demonstration.

Troubleshooting Your Evaluation Setup Network Topology Overview For retrieving the evaluation license: To retrieve the evaluation license automatically, the LiveUSB host computer must have access to the Internet. The host computer will attempt to retrieve an IP address on its first wired interface dynamically via DHCP. Although wireless connections may be available on the LiveUSB host computer, they are disabled in the default configuration.

Troubleshooting Graphics Problems on Your LiveUSB Host Computer The LiveUSB was validated with many different host computers, but some computers may have a graphics controller that is incompatible with the default boot settings of the LiveUSB. If you see distorted graphics (or no graphics at all), your host computer has an incompatible graphics controller.
