<message>Delete the start.elf file and several log files from the emmc-provisioning scripts, which are no longer needed for the deployment process. Additionally, remove the plymouth-custom.script file from the cloud-init duplicates archive, streamlining the project and reducing clutter in the repository.
reTerminal DM4 eMMC provisioning
Automatically deploy or backup the CM4 eMMC when the reTerminal is connected in USB boot mode or when it boots over the network. Uses cloud-init for first-boot configuration.
Revisions are tracked project-wide; see repo root README.md and scripts/bump-revision.sh.

Quick start
- Read docs/EMMC-PROVISIONING-GUIDE.md for setup and usage.
- Deploy to a new Proxmox: Follow docs/DEPLOY-NEW-PROXMOX.md for clear step-by-step instructions.
- Proxmox reference: scripts/deploy-to-proxmox.sh and docs/PROXMOX-LXC-DEPLOYMENT.md for options, layout, and troubleshooting.
- Manual host: Copy scripts from
host/to the host and install the udev rule (see the guide). - Put golden.img in
/var/lib/cm4-provisioning/(or your configured path). When a device is detected (USB or network), the dashboard asks Backup or Deploy.
