one-liner. This page is the full map.
| doc |
what |
| ARMBIAN.md |
Install on Armbian — the one-command hands-off path (two auto-reboots), KILN_MANUAL=1, and the KILN_SKIP_* granular re-runs. |
| MAINLINE-KERNEL.md |
The mainline linux-7.1.3 base + Kiln's NPU patch set; how CI builds it and the manual build/install. |
| buildroot/README.md |
The flashable br2-external sdcard.img (rootfs + module + optional model) — the maintainer image path. |
All read one config, /etc/kiln/config.ini.

| CONFIG.md |
/etc/kiln/config.ini — every field, and how to edit it (by hand or via kiln-config). |
| TOOLS.md |
kiln (umbrella launcher / menu), kiln-doctor (pass/fail health check), kiln-config (whiptail config TUI), kiln-convert (on-board model conversion). |
| CHAT.md |
kiln-chat — the interactive LLM CLI and its slash commands. |
| SERVER.md |
kiln-serve — the OpenAI-compatible HTTP API (LLM + optional vision). |

| OPENWEBUI.md |
Point Open WebUI (a ChatGPT-style web page), LangChain, the openai SDK, or any OpenAI client at the board. |
| TROUBLESHOOTING.md |
Symptom / exact error → cause → fix knowledge base (Ctrl-F the message you're seeing). Start with sudo kiln-doctor. |
| BENCHMARK.md |
Measured LLM tok/s, vision ms/fps, and detection latency — and how to reproduce them. |
See CONTRIBUTING.md. The single most useful contribution right now
is testing on a board other than the ROCK 4D and reporting back.
