+=== Adding support to the Venice BSP
+The latest Venice BSP will no longer build the driver/userspace components needed for the GW16146 but you can add the following script to your bsp directory to have them built which is what we do when generating our pre-built images:
+1. Add a 'custom_kernel_gw16146' script
+{{{#!bash
+cat <<\EOF > custom_kernel_gw16146
+#!/bin/bash -e
+
+DIR=$PWD/gw16146
+OUTDIR=$DIR/out
+KDIR=$1
+DESTDIR=$2
+mkdir -p $DIR
+
+cd $DIR
+
+[ -d nrc7292 ] || git clone https://github.com/Gateworks/nrc7292 -b v1.5.1-gateworks
+[ -d ftdi-usb-spi ] || git clone https://github.com/Gateworks/ftdi-usb-spi

+# FTDI USB-SPI driver
+make -j$(nproc) -C ftdi-usb-spi \
+        KDIR=$KDIR INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$DESTDIR \
+        INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 \
+        modules modules_install

+# newracom nrc7292 802.11ah driver
+make -j$(nproc) -C nrc7292/package/src/nrc/ KDIR=$KDIR modules

+# newracom nrc7292 firmware
+mkdir -p $DESTDIR/lib/firmware
+cp nrc7292/package/evk/sw_pkg/nrc_pkg/sw/firmware/nrc7292_* \
+        $DESTDIR/lib/firmware/

+mkdir -p $DESTDIR/etc/modprobe.d
+echo "options nrc fw_name=nrc7292_cspi.bin bd_name=nrc7292_bd.dat spi_polling_interval=5" \
+        > $DESTDIR/etc/modprobe.d/nrc.conf

+2. rebuild the ubuntu-image:
+{{{#!bash
+source ./setup-environment
+make ubuntu-image
