Note
This is still a beta version. The Script just configures the Raspberry Pi to open Chromium automatically on boot, disables mouse cursor, panel and screensaver. Additionally it changes the splash screen and wallpaper (to HXA.io logo) and configures the display to run in portrait mode if wanted.
WARNING!
Still there is no security enhancement or hardening included for the Raspberry Pi OS for running in kiosk mode!
