+meta-agl, the Yocto layer for Automotive Grade Linux Distribution
+=================================================================
+
+This layer's purpose is ... [TBD]
+
+Layer Dependencies

+
+Layers
+------
+
+There are 2 sub-layers in top-level `meta-agl`.
+
+`meta-agl` is a layer which contains AGL common and middleware packages.
+> meta-agl/meta-agl
+  
+`meta-agl-bsp` is a layer which contains required packages to boot AGL distribution on an emulated machine(QEMU).
+> meta-agl/meta-agl-bsp
+
+Packagegroups
+-------------
+
+AGL package group design:
+
+These are the top-level packagegroups for AGL Distribution.
+> packagegroup-agl-core  (basic/common packages out of oe-core)
+> packagegroup-agl-ivi   (middlewares for AGL IVI)
+
+Each package group can contain sub-package groups like these.
+> packagegroup-agl-core-multimedia
+> packagegroup-agl-core-connectivity
+> ...
+> packagegroup-agl-ivi-multimedia
+> packagegroup-agl-ivi-connectivity
+> ...
+
+The recipe for `packagegroup-agl-core-*.bb` will contain common packages between meta-agl, meta-ivi and meta-tizen.
+> directory: meta-agl/meta-agl/recipes-core/packagegroups
+> recipes  : packagegroup-agl-core-[subsystem].bb
+
+The "packagegroups-agl-ivi-*" will contain AGL specific middleware packages.
+> directory: meta-agl/meta-agl/recipes-ivi/packagegroups
+> recipes  : packagegroup-agl-ivi-[subsystem].bb
+
+Supported Machine
+-----------------
+
+* QEMU (x86-64) - emulated machine: qemux86-64
+
+Supported Target of bitbake
+------------------------
+
+* `agl-image-ivi` The baseline image of AGL Distributions
+
+* `agl-image-minimal` For internal use to develop distribution (experimental)
+* `agl-image-weston`  For internal use to develop distribution (experimental)
+
+Build a QEMU image
+------------------
+
+You can build a QEMU image using the following steps:
+
+1. Export TEMPLATECONF to pick up correct configuration for the build
+   > $ export TEMPLATECONF=/full/path/to/meta-agl/meta-agl/conf
+
+2. Rune the following command:
+   > $ source poky/oe-init-build-env
+
+3. Build the minimal image of AGL Distribution
+   > $ bitbake agl-image-ivi
+
+4. Run the emulator
+   > $ PATH_TO_POKY/poky/scripts/runqemu agl-image-ivi qemux86-64
+
+   For large screen:
+   > $ PATH_TO_POKY/poky/scripts/runqemu agl-image-ivi qemux86-64 bootparams="uvesafb.mode=1280x720-32"
+
+5. Some weston samples are available from weston terminal.
