I am using "atomic host upgrade" as my 'Hello World' test. It seems to
be successful
The starting point was:
Fedora-AtomicHost-ostree-x86_64-28-20180902.0.iso installed using a USB
flash drive. (uncertainty - it might have been an earlier image on the
flash drive).
The target system is a pcengines.ch APU4b4 with 4G ram, 4xGigEth, 4 core
AMD Embedded G series GX-412TC, 60 GB SSD.
At idle it is using about 4 watts including power adapter inefficiencies
(viewed on Kill A Watt meter). No fan needed.
It does not have video, so some screwing around necessary at initial
boot to insert console=ttyS0,115200n8
After the original system was running:
Commands given:
atomic host upgrade
...
systemctl reboot
.....
Fedora 28.20181007.0 (Atomic Host)
Kernel 4.18.11-200.fc28.x86_64 on an x86_64 (ttyS0)

The date of the Last login may have been the build date of the board or
coreboot bios. I was having some network config problems on my host
Fedora 29 before the successful atomic host upgrade.
It seems that the version is 28. I'm not sure why it did not upgrade to 29.
Thanks for all the work getting Atomic to this point.
I wonder about its future under IBM..
