Using DuinOS on 86Duino One with the Vortex86VGA Card

By default, DuinOS is configured to launch 86UsbSh and does not return to DOS command prompt after launching 86UsbSh. When using DuinOS on 86Duino One with Vortex86VGA graphics card and keyboard to interact with DuinOS’s DOS command environment, you need to modify AUTOEXEC.BAT to disable 86UsbSh from launching during boot-up, as follow:

Attach a MicroSD configured with DuinOS to your development workstation through an USB-to-MicroSD adapter.
