+== FSL Community BSP ==
+The [http://freescale.github.io FSL Community BSP] is a community driven project to provide and maintain a Board Support Package meta layer to be used with [http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OpenEmbedded-Core OpenEmbedded-Core] and [https://www.yoctoproject.org/tools-resources/projects/poky Poky].
+
+It is comprised of three layers on top of [http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OpenEmbedded-Core OpenEmbedded-Core] and [https://www.yoctoproject.org/tools-resources/projects/poky Poky]:
+- [http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-freescale meta-freescale] - provides the base BSP support and the board support for Freescale i.MX and QorIQ reference boards;
+- [https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale-3rdparty meta-freescale-3rdparty] - provides support for 3rd party and partner boards;
+- [https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale-distro meta-freescale-distro] - provides images recipes, demo recipes, and packagegroups used to ease the development with Yocto Project.
+
+These layers take priority over (via layer configuration):
+- [http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky poky]
+- [http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/ OE core]
+
+The Gateworks Yocto BSP utilizes the FSL Community BSP layers but adds two more layers:
+- [https://github.com/dv1/meta-gstreamer1.0 meta-gstreamer1.0]:
+ * Gstreamer package backports
+- [https://github.com/Gateworks/meta-gateworks meta-gateworks]:
+ - changes to recipes in other layers (bbappends) suitable for pushing upstream:
+  * gstreamer1.0-plugins-imx - add patch to support tw6869 PCIe capture device used on avc8000nano ''(submitted upstream)''
+  * imx-kobs - add a patch to support split MTD partitions ''(submitted upstream)''
+  * init-ifupdown - use nl80211 for wpa_supplicant driver instead of deprecated wext  ''(submitted upstream)''
+  * hostapd - add AC support to hostapd-2.2 (alterred defconfig)  ''(submitted upstream)''
+ - changes to recipes in other layers (bbappends) not suitable to push upstream
+  * u-boot-fw-utils - add install script that configures fw-utils dynamically per board (nand vs microSD/MMC)
+  * gpsd - disable startup on boot (by removing initscript)
+  * cryptodev - load cryptodev module on boot
+ - Gateworks contributed packages:
+  * hostapd-conf - script for easily generating hostapd.conf file
+  * gateworks-test - test script for simple loopback of audio and video
+  * gsc-update - GSC firmware update utility
+  * gst-gateworks-apps - example gstreamer RTSP server application
+  * gwsoc - utility for GW16113 PSoC I/O expansion card
+  * compat-wireless - updated wireless drivers for iwlwifi/ath9k/ath10k/ar3k/intel-ibt
+  * gateworks-image-minimal - core-image-base + a bunch of basic test tools and wireless/networking
+  * gateworks-image-test - gateworks-image-minimal + gateworks-test gstreamer1.0-plugins-imx
+  * gateworks-image-multimedia - gateworks-image-multimedia + imx-test, alsa-utils, alsa-lib, alsa-state and gstreamer
