-The blue LED still work even VIM2 was powered off.+In this case, the blue LED still work even VIM2 was powered off.
  
-The KBI can be used to program the blue LED for two different status-modes:+The KBI can be used to program the blue LED for two working modes:
  
-  * system off / idle: power off status, the CPU is powered down.+  * system off / idle: power off status, the CPU is in power-down mode.
   * system on / working: power on status, the CPU is in working mode.   * system on / working: power on status, the CPU is in working mode.
  
-Examples:+For example:
  
 To check the blue LED’s setting for ''system off'' / idle status: To check the blue LED’s setting for ''system off'' / idle status:
Line 135: Line 133:
 led mode: off  [systemon] led mode: off  [systemon]
 ``` ```
 +When VIM2 is powered on,the blue LED is ''Always off''. 
  
-The terminal printout above says that the blue LED is to remain ''Always off'' when you power on the VIM2. You could instead change it to the ''breathe'' mode: +You can also reset it to ''breathe'' mode:
 ```shell ```shell
 kvim2# kbi led systemon w breathe kvim2# kbi led systemon w breathe

-=== Boot Mode ===+==== Boot Mode ====
  
-VIM2 comes with both SPI flash and eMMC Storage. The KBI can be used to setup one of these as the default boot media.+You can flash the images to SPI or eMMC storage in VIM2, and setup one of them as the default boot media by KBI.
  
-To set the default boot media as SPI flash:+Set the default boot media as the SPI:
  
 ```shell ```shell

Line 180: Line 178:
   * Key: Power Key/Button   * Key: Power Key/Button
   * GPIO: External GPIO events   * GPIO: External GPIO events
-This means that when your VIM2 is powered-off, any of the above events can trigger it to power-on; when that trigger event has been set to the ''enabled'' status.+It means any of the above events can trigger VIM2 to power-on after that trigger event has been set to the ''enabled'' status.
  
-Examples:+For example:
  
-  * Get the status for a WOL trigger event: \\ ```shell+  * Get the status of the WOL trigger event: \\ ```shell
 kvim2# kbi trigger wol r kvim2# kbi trigger wol r
 boot wol: disable boot wol: disable
 ``` ```
-  * By default, WOL is disabled for the preinstalled ROM, you can enable it by writing a new value: \\ ```shell+  * WOL is disabled for the pre-installed ROM by default, you can enable it by writing a new value: \\ ```shell
 kvim2# kbi trigger wol w 1 kvim2# kbi trigger wol w 1
 set_wol: 1 set_wol: 1
 ``` ```
-  * Of course, for security reasons, you might want to disable the WOL: \\ ```shell+  * In general, you will disable the WOL for security reasons. : \\ ```shell
 kvim2# kbi trigger wol w 0 kvim2# kbi trigger wol w 0
 set_wol: 0 set_wol: 0
 ``` ```
