After selecting your KOS release to configure your device image, you must choose the hardware profile and node settings for the device on which you will run your image. The Hardware profile screen lets users set up port mappings and developer flags to facilitate quick debugging and device setup. This article walks through the steps to set up hardware settings for your image.
