+## Important notice
+
+Do note that even though waltham-transmitter can be built, AGL will no longer
+use weston as its default compositor, and although it relies on it (more
+exactly it uses its underlying library -- libweston), the following
+build instructions are most likely just a guide, and not a verified
+walk-through that reflects the current status. They all assume that you'll use
+weston and with it ivi-shell, which is not longer the case in AGL.
+
+Integration with the newer compositor is at this point in a WIP state.
+
+## Information
+Please also refer [Readme](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src/weston-ivi-plugins.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/master;hb=refs/heads/master) in source repository.
+
+## How to build waltham-transmitter
+1. Prerequisite before building
+ AGL Image is already built. Please refer [here](https://docs.automotivelinux.org/docs/en/master/getting_started/reference/getting-started/image-workflow-build.html)
+
+2. Go to AGL build folder and configure your environment.
+```
+ $ cd $AGL_TOP
+ $ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh
+```
+3. Build waltham-transmitter by using bitbake.
+
+Since waltham-transmitter is not built by default, this step is mandatory.
+
+```
+ $ bitbake waltham-transmitter
+```
+
+4. You can find the built results under $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/work/<board type>/waltham-transmitter/git-r0/image/
+ - usr/bin/waltham-receiver
+ - usr/lib/transmitter.so
+ - usr/lib/waltham-renderer.so
+
+## How to configure weston.ini and GStreamer pipeline
+
+### weston.ini
+
+In order to load waltham-transmitter plugin to weston, add "transmitter.so" to
+the "modules" key under "[core]" in weston.ini at transmitter side,
+then make sure the "shell" is configured as "ivi-shell.so".
+
+The destination of remoting also needs to be configured in weston.ini.
+Add output name, receiver IP address, port number, output's width and height
+key under "[transmitter-output]". You can speficy multiple [transmitter-output]
+with different output-name.
+
+```
+/* Example_weston.ini - single transmitter-output */
+
+ [core]
+ shell=ivi-shell.so
+ modules=systemd-notify.so,ivi-controller.so,transmitter.so
+
+ [ivi-shell]
+ ivi-module=ivi-controller.so
+ ivi-input-module=ivi-input-controller.so
+
+ [transmitter-output]
+ output-name=transmitter_1
+ server-address=192.168.2.52
+ port=34400
+ width=1920
+ height=1080
+
+```
+
+### GStreamer pipeline
+
+You can use GStreamer pipeline as you want. Please describe pipeline
+configuration in "/etc/xdg/weston/pipeline.cfg".
+Here are some examples.
+
+```
+
+/* General pipeline which does not use any HW encoder */
+ appsrc name=src ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! jpegenc ! \
+ rtpjpegpay ! udpsink name=sink host=YOUR_RECIEVER_IP \
+ port=YOUR_RECIEVER_PORT sync=false async=false
+
+/* pipeline to use Intel's HW encoder */
+ appsrc name=src ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! \
+ mfxh264enc bitrate=3000000 rate-control=1 ! rtph264pay config-interval=1 ! \
+ udpsink name=sink host=YOUR_RECIEVER_IP port=YOUR_RECIEVER_PORT \
+ sync=false async=false
+
+/* pipeline to use Rcar's HW encoder */
+ appsrc name=src ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! \
+ omxh264enc bitrate=3000000 control-rate=2 ! rtph264pay ! \
+ udpsink name=sink host=YOUR_RECIEVER_IP port=YOUR_RECIEVER_PORT \
+ sync=false async=false
+
+```
+
+## Connection Establishment
+
+1. Connect two boards over ethernet.
+2. Assign IP to both boards.
+```Example:
+ transmitter IP: 192.168.2.51
+ waltham-receiver IP: 192.168.2.52
+```
+3. Check if the simple ping works
+```
+ $ ping 192.168.2.52 (you can also ping vice versa)
+```
+
+## Example steps to start remoting
+
+1. Start target boards.
+
+transmitter side must have the above 2 files, the modified weston.ini and
+GStreamer pipeline,cfg. You can confirm that transmitter is loaded properly
+from weston log as below.
+
+```
+/* Example(/run/platform/display/weston.log) */
+ [12:28:09.127] Loading module '/usr/lib/weston/transmitter.so'
+ [12:28:09.182] Registered plugin API 'transmitter_v1' of size 88
+ [12:28:09.183] Registered plugin API 'transmitter_ivi_v1' of size 16
+ [12:28:09.186] Loading module '/usr/lib/libweston-6/waltham-renderer.so'
+ [12:28:09.255] Transmitter initialized.
+ [12:28:09.255] transmitter_output_attach_head is called
+ [12:28:09.255] Weston head attached successfully to output
+ [12:28:09.255] Output 'transmitter-192.168.2.52:34400-1' enabled with head(s) transmitter-192.168.2.52:34400-1
+ [12:28:09.255] Transmitter weston_seat 0xaaab2209c800
+ [12:28:09.255] Transmitter created pointer=0xaaab220e6b50 for seat 0xaaab2209c800
+ [12:28:09.255] Transmitter created keyboard=0xaaab22038e60 for seat 0xaaab2209c800
+ [12:28:09.255] Transmitter created touch=0xaaab220c7930 for seat 0xaaab2209c800
+```
+
+2. [receiver side] Start receiver application.
+
+The below example shows the case if you use waltham-receiver as receiver application.
+
+1. Add surface to the display where you want to receive transmitted contents.
+You can check which output name is required by using the command
+`LayerManagerControl get scene`.
+
+```
+ $ layer-add-surfaces -s <surface count> -l <layer id> -d <output display name> &
+/* Example */
+ $ layer-add-surfaces -s 1 -l 1 -d HDMI-A-1 &
+```
+2. Start waltham-receiver. You can use debug option with "-v" if you want.
+```
+ $ waltham-receiver -p 34400 -v &
+```
+
+3. Now, receiver side is waiting for the contents coming from transmitter side.
+
+**You must configure and start receiver side first.**
+
+4. [transmitter side] Start an IVI application
+5. Put the surface of IVI application onto transmitter-output by using
+ LayerManagerControl command.
+
+This surface will be transmitted.
+
+```
+ $ layer-add-surfaces -d <transmitter -output name> -s <surface count on receiver> -l <layer id on receiver>
+/* Example */
+ $ layer-add-surfaces -d transmitter-192.168.2.52:34400-1 -s 1 -l 1 &
+```
+
+5. [transmitter side] make sure that weston.log shows remoting has been started.
+
+```
+/* Example(/run/platform/display/weston.log) */
+ [12:29:33.224] surface ID 1
+ [12:29:40.622] gst-setting are :-->
+ [12:29:40.622] ip = 192.168.2.52
+ [12:29:40.622] port = 34400
+ [12:29:40.622] bitrate = 3000000
+ [12:29:40.622] width = 1080
+ [12:29:40.622] height = 1920
+ [12:29:42.177] Parsing GST pipeline:appsrc name=src ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! jpegenc ! rtpjjpegpay ! udpsink name=sink host=192.168.2.52 port=3440 sync=false async=false
+```
+
+## Typical issues & Tips
+
+### help functions
+You can find the help information of LayerManagerControl command by using
+
+```
+$ LayerManagerControl help
+```
+
+### waltham-transmitter and waltham-receiver doesn't not communicate
+
+1. Please check ethernet connection. If you assign 192.168.2.51 and
+ 192.168.2.52 for waltham-transmitter and waltham-receiver, you shall ping
+ vice versa.
+
+```
+/* At waltham-transmitter side */
+ $ ping 192.168.2.52
+
+/* At waltham-receiver side */
+ $ ping 192.168.2.51
+```
+
+2. Make sure that IP address specified in the weston.ini under
+ [transmitter-output] matches the waltham-receiver IP address.
+
+3. Make sure that IP address in pipeline.cfg on the transmitter side match the
+ waltham-receiver's IP address.
+
+### surface,layer or output information is unknown.
+You can check them by using the below command.
+
+```
+ $ LayerManagerControl get scene
