+title: meta-agl
+---
+
+## Introduction
+
+The `meta-agl` layer provides the minimal set of software
+to boot an AGL Distribution system.
+You use this layer as the minimal core on which to build AGL profiles.
+
+**NOTE:** The `meta-agl` layer does not include a reference UI.
+  The reference UI is included as part of the
+  [`meta-agl-demo`](03_meta_agl_demo.md) layer.
+  Furthermore, `meta-agl` does not include additional components, such
+  as security, which are part of the
+  `meta-agl-extra` layer.
+
+## Sub-Layers
+
+The `meta-agl` layer itself contains many sub-layers and files.
+Following is a "tree" look at the layer:
+
+```

+├── LICENSE
+├── LICENSE.GPL-2.0-only
+├── LICENSE.MIT
+├── README-AGL.md
+├── README.md -> meta-agl.md
+├── agl-layers-overview.md
+├── docs

+```
+
+This list provides some overview information on the files and sub-layers
+in `meta-agl`:
+
+* LICENSE* : licenses of the various components.
+* README* : RTFM
+* agl-layers-overview.md: references to the various layers that make up AGL
+* `docs`: Contains files that support AGL documentation.
+* `meta-agl-bsp`: Contains adaptations for recipes and required packages
+  to boot an AGL distribution on targeted hardware and emulation (i.e. QEMU).
+* `meta-agl-core`: This is the core layer with essential recipes and the distro.
+* `meta-agl-core-test`: recipes supporting qa images (separate layer due to external dependencies)
+* `meta-agl-ic`: Instrument Cluster platform
+* `meta-agl-ivi`: IVI platform
+* `meta-netboot`: Contains recipes and configuration adjustments to allow network
+  boot through network block device (NBD) since network file system (NFS) does not
+  support security labels.
+* `meta-pipewire`: Configuration and recipes supporting pipewire as audio manager
+* `scripts`: AGL development setup and support scripts.
+* `templates`: Base, feature, and machine templates used in the AGL development
+  environment.
