+meta-agl-cluster-demo, the layer for the Instrument Cluster DEMO platform of Automotive Grade Linux
+=================================================================================
+
+The layer 'meta-agl-cluster-demo' provides a reference/demo platform and
+applications for the AGL Distribution.
+
+AGL is creating an automotive specific Linux distribution (AGL UCB) that unifies
+the software that has been written in a number of places already,
+such as GENIVI and Tizen IVI.
+
+The AGL community appreciates feedback, ideas, suggestion, bugs and
+documentation just as much as code. Please join the irc conversation
+at the #automotive channel on irc.freenode.net and our mailing list.
+
+For infomation for subscribing to the mailing list

+Layer Dependencies
+------------------
+
+* Base dependencies [agl-cluster-demo]:
+
+URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
+
+URI: https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/AGL/meta-agl
+
+URI: https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/AGL/meta-agl-devel
+
+URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
+
+Specifically out of meta-openembedded these sub-layers are used:
+
+ - meta-openembedded/meta-oe
+ - meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia
+ -  meta-openembedded/meta-efl
+ -  meta-openembedded/meta-networking
+ -  meta-openembedded/meta-python
+ -  meta-openembedded/meta-ruby
+
+URI: https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5.git
+
+* Hardware dependencies:
+
+The Minnowboard Turbot board depends in addition on:
+
+URI: http://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-intel
+
+
+Packagegroups
+-------------
+
+AGL Cluster Demo Platform's package group design:
+
+* packagegroup-agl-cluster-demo-platform
+
+This is for generating the image 'agl-cluster-demo-platform' which is a full
+image for the Instrument Cluster profile of the AGL distro.
+
+Following meta-agl's design of packagegroups, ``agl-cluster-demo-platform.bb``
+contains only ``packagegroup-agl-cluster-demo-platform``.
+
+``packagegroup-agl-cluster-demo-platform`` has one packagegroup in it,
+``packagegroup-agl-profile-cluster-qt5``, and the packages required for the DEMO
+applications.
+
+Supported Machines
+------------------
+
+At the moment only the Minnowboard Turbot has been tested, but the other
+AGL supported platforms (see `README-AGL.md` in meta-agl layer), should be
+possible to make work by modifying the gstreamer pipeline used in the
+agl-cluster-demo-receiver application to replace the use of vaapisink with
+an alternative that works for the platform.
+
+Supported Target of bitbake
+------------------------
+
+* `agl-cluster-demo-platform` is the full image of the AGL Instrument Cluster
+Demo Platform with all applications
