ACRN 2.1 supports two virtual boot modes, deprivilege boot mode and direct boot mode. The deprivilege boot mode’s main purpose is to support booting Clear Linux Service VM with UEFI service support, but this brings scalability problems when porting ACRN to new Intel platforms. For the 2.2 release, deprivilege mode is removed, and only direct boot is supported, and with this we've removed support for Clear Linux as the service VM, which impacts over 50 ACRN documents. This PR removes documents we don't intend to update, and fixes broken links that would occur from references to these deleted docs. Signed-off-by: David B. Kinder <david.b.kinder@intel.com>

Using the Serial Port on KBL NUC
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
You can enable the serial console on the
|
|
`KBL NUC <https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Business-Mini-Technology-BLKNUC7i7DNH1E/dp/B07CCQ8V4R>`_
|
|
(NUC7i7DNH). The KBL NUC has a serial port header you can
|
|
expose with a serial DB9 header cable. (The NUC has a punch out hole for
|
|
mounting the serial connector.)

such a cable or you can build it yourself;
|
|
refer to the `KBL NUC product specification

|
You'll also need an `RS232 DB9 female to USB cable
|
|
<https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Chipset-CableCreation-Converter-Register/dp/B0769DVQM1>`_,
|
|
or an `RS232 DB9 female/female (NULL modem) cross-over cable
|
|
<https://www.amazon.com/SF-Cable-Null-Modem-RS232/dp/B006W0I3BA>`_
|
|
to connect to your host system.
|
|
|
|
Note that If you want to use the RS232 DB9 female/female cable, choose
|
|
the **cross-over** type rather than **straight-through** type.
