Rewrite and restructure readme filesblowfish_2.0.12.0.1
This changeset updates the outdated README.md in meta-agl. We also introduce a split between the README.md which describes the layer itself and a README-AGL.md which contains the information on the AGL distribution. v2: Format in markdown editor - proper markdown now.

-meta-agl, the Yocto layer for Automotive Grade Linux Distribution
-=================================================================

+meta-agl, the core layer for Automotive Grade Linux Distribution
+================================================================
AGL is creating an automotive specific Linux distribution that unifies
the software that has been written in a number of places already,
such as GENIVI and Tizen IVI.
+The layer 'meta-agl' provides a minimal set of software
+to boot system of AGL Distribution. 'meta-agl' is the minimal
+core which is used build AGL profiles on top of it.
+
+Especially there is no reference UI included which is part of 'meta-agl-demo'.
+
+Additional components like the security framework are part of 'meta-agl-extra'.
+
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.

-### Software setup
-
-NOTE: These instructions are based on GENIVI wiki, [here](http://wiki.projects.genivi.org/index.php/Hardware_Setup_and_Software_Installation/koelsch%26porter). If these didn't work correctly especially around Renesas Binary Packages, please check there and updated instructions.
-
-#### Getting Source Code and Build image
-
-1. Create a directory for working, then go to there.
- $ mkdir -p $HOME/ANYWHERE_YOU_WANT_TO_WORK_THERE
- $ cd $HOME/ANYWHERE_YOU_WANT_TO_WORK_THERE
- $ export AGL_TOP=`pwd`
-
-2. Get the meta data and checkout
- $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
- $ cd poky
- $ git checkout df87cb27efeaea1455f20692f9f1397c6fcab254
- $ cd -
- $ git clone git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
- $ cd meta-openembedded
- $ git checkout 9efaed99125b1c4324663d9a1b2d3319c74e7278
- $ cd -
- $ git clone https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/AGL/meta-renesas
- $ cd meta-renesas
- $ git checkout bf30de66badcac7ef82d3758aa44c116ee791a28
- $ cd -
- $ git clone https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/AGL/meta-agl
-
-#### Obtain and Install Renesas Graphics Drivers
-
-1. Download packages from Renesas
-
- The graphics and multimedia acceleration packages for the R-Car M2 Porter board
- can be download directory from [here](http://www.renesas.com/secret/r_car_download/rcar_demoboard.jsp).
-
- There are 2 ZIP files can be downloaded.
- * Multimedia and Graphics library which require registeration and click through license
- > r-car_series_evaluation_software_package_for_linux-*.zip
- * Related Linux drivers
- > r-car_series_evaluation_software_package_of_linux_drivers-*.zip
+See README-AGL.md
-2. Unzip the two downloads into a temporary directory.
- $ cd $AGL_TOP
- $ mkdir binary-tmp
- $ cd binary-tmp
- $ unzip PATH_TO_DOWNLOAD/r-car_series_evaluation_software_package_for_linux-*.zip
- $ unzip PATH_TO_DOWNLOAD/r-car_series_evaluation_software_package_of_linux_drivers-*.zip
- After this step there should be two files in binary-tmp:
- * Multimedia and Graphics library
- > R-Car_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_for_Linux-*.tar.gz
- * Related Linux drivers
- > R-Car_Series_Evaluation_Software_Package_of_Linux_Drivers-*.tar.gz
+Supported Target for bitbake
+----------------------------
-3. Copy the graphics acceleration drivers by shell script.
- $ cd $AGL_TOP/meta-renesas/meta-rcar-gen2
- $ ./copy_gfx_software_porter.sh ../../binary-tmp
+meta-agl:
-4. Copy the multimedia acceleration drivers by shell script.
- $ cd $AGL_TOP/meta-renesas/meta-rcar-gen2
- $ ./copy_mm_software_lcb.sh ../../binary-tmp
-
-#### Build from the Source code
-
-You can build a R-Car2 M2 (porter) image using the following steps:
-
-1. Export TEMPLATECONF to pick up correct configuration for the build
- $ export TEMPLATECONF=$AGL_TOP/meta-renesas/meta-rcar-gen2/conf
-
-2. Run the following command:
- $ cd $AGL_TOP
- $ source poky/oe-init-build-env
-
- Edit conf/bblayers.conf then remove this line.
- ##OEROOT##/../meta-agl-demo \
-
- (Optional) If you want to use multimedia accelerations, confirm your
- conf/bblayer.conf has a entry of `meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia`
- in BBLAYERS because packagegroup-rcar-gen2-multimedia needs some extra
- packages there.
-
-3. (Optional) If you want to use multimedia accelerations, uncomment
- manually 4 `IMAGE_INSTALL_append_porter` in conf/local.conf.
- #IMAGE_INSTALL_append_porter = " \
- # gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-waylandsink \
- # "
-
- #IMAGE_INSTALL_append_porter = " \
- # gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-videorate \
- ...
- #"
-
- #IMAGE_INSTALL_append_porter = " \
- # libegl libegl-dev libgbm-dev \
- ...
- # "
-
- #IMAGE_INSTALL_append_porter = " \
- # packagegroup-rcar-gen2-multimedia \
- ...
- # "
-
- Also it is needed to uncomment this,
- #MACHINE_FEATURES_append = " multimedia"
-
- This `multimedia` enables meta-renesas's multimedia configuration.
- The version of GStreamer1.0 which AGL distro use, will be changed
- to 1.2.3 (meta-renesas prefers) from 1.4.1(meta-agl default) by this switch.
-
-4. Build the minimal image of AGL Distribution
- $ bitbake agl-image-ivi
-
-### Deployment (SDCARD)
-
-NOTE: These instructions are based on GENIVI wiki, [here](http://wiki.projects.genivi.org/index.php/Hardware_Setup_and_Software_Installation/koelsch%26porter#Deployment_.28SDCARD.29).
-
-#### Instructions on the host
-
-1. Format SD-Card and then, create single EXT3 partition on it.
-
-2. Mount the SD-Card, for example `/media/$SDCARD_LABEL`.
-
-3. Copy AGL root file system onto the SD-Card
- 1. Go to build directory
- $ cd $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/porter
- 2. Extract the root file system into the SD-Card
- $ sudo tar --extract --numeric-owner --preserve-permissions --preserve-order \
- --totals --directory=/media/$SDCARD_LABEL --file=agl-image-ivi-porter.tar.bz2
- 3. Copy kernel and DTB into the `/boot` of the SD-Card
- $ sudo cp uImage uImage-r8a7791-porter.dtb /media/$SDCARD_LABEL/boot
-
-4. After the copy finished, unmount SD-Card and insert it into the SD-Card slot of the porter board.
-
-#### Instructions on the host
-
-NOTE: There is details about porter board [here](http://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/Porter).
-
-NOTE: To boot weston on porter board, we need keyboard and mouse. (USB2.0 can be use for this)
-
-##### Change U-Boot parameters to boot from SD card
-
-1. Power up the board and, using your preferred terminal emulator, stop the board's autoboot by hitting any key.
-
- > Debug serial settings are 38400 8N1. Any standard terminal emulator program can be used.
-
-2. Set the follow environment variables and save them
- => setenv bootargs_console console=ttySC6,${baudrate}
- => setenv bootargs_video vmalloc=384M video=HDMI-A-1:1024x768-32@60
- => setenv bootcmd_sd 'ext4load mmc 0:1 0x40007fc0 boot/uImage;ext4load mmc 0:1 0x40f00000 boot/uImage-r8a7791-porter.dtb'
- => setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs_console} ${bootargs_video} root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootfstype=ext3;run bootcmd_sd;bootm 0x40007fc0 - 0x40f00000'
- => saveenv
-
-##### Boot from SD card
-
-1. After board reset, U-Boot is started and after a countdown, ...
- Linux boot message should be displayed. Please wait a moment.
-2. Then weston is booted automatically, and weston-terminal appears.
-
-3. Have fun! :)
-
-4. (Optional) This is how to test and play multimedia contents with acceleration.
-
- 1. Boot porter without mouse and keyboard, it avoid to boot weston automatically.
- For now, when running weston, V4L2 deosn't work correctly, so we have to
- stop weston first (GST plugin `waylandsink` also doesn't work correctly for now).
-
- 2. Execute these instructions:
- $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:"
-
- # Set the mixer
- $ amixer set "LINEOUT Mixer DACL" on
- $ amixer set "DVC Out" 10
