+
+## Loading and Unloading AVIRT
+
+To run, we must load the kernel modules using the `loadDrivers.sh` script, which contains sample module parameters to AVIRT:
+```sh
+$ ./loadDrivers.sh
+```
+To unload the drivers use:
+```sh
+$ ./unload.sh
+```
+
+<a name="configure-avirt" />
+
+## Configuring AVIRT
+
+AVIRT is configured using configfs.
+### Note:
+A sample script for the following is supplied inside the ```scripts``` folder.
+
+First, verify the kernel supports the use of configfs.
+```sh
+fgrep configfs /proc/filesystems
+```
+
+the expected output is:
+```
+nodev configfs
+```
+
+Once confirmed, we can mount the configfs at the conventional point:
+```sh
+#Check configfs is mounted on the system
+mkdir -p /config
+mount -t configfs none /config
+```
+
+Finally, we can configure AVIRT:
+
+```sh
+# Set up each of the cards channels
+mkdir /config/avirt/streams/playback_media
+echo "2">/config/avirt/streams/playback_media/channels
+
+mkdir /config/avirt/streams/playback_navigation
+echo "1">/config/avirt/streams/playback_navigation/channels
+
+mkdir /config/avirt/streams/playback_emergency
+echo "1">/config/avirt/streams/playback_emergency/channels
+
+mkdir /config/avirt/streams/capture_voice
+echo "1">/config/avirt/streams/capture_voice/channels
+
+# Finally, seal the card, and initiate configuration
+echo "1">/config/avirt/streams/sealed
+```
+
+### Note:
+A simplified helper library, libavirt, is available [here](https://github.com/fiberdyne/libavirt).
+Please refer to the readme in libavirt for further details.
