+AGL is creating an automotive specific Linux distribution that unifies
+the software that has been written in a number of places already,
+such as GENIVI and Tizen IVI.
-URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
-> layer: meta-oe
-> branch: dizzy
-> revision: 853dcfa0d618dc26bd27b3a1b49494b98d6eee97
+The layer 'meta-agl' provides a minimal set of software
+to boot system of AGL Distribution. 'meta-agl' is the minimal
+core which is used build AGL profiles on top of it.
-Layers
-------
+Especially there is no reference UI included which is part of 'meta-agl-demo'.
-There are 2 sub-layers in top-level `meta-agl`.
+Additional components like the security framework are part of 'meta-agl-extra'.
-`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
+The AGL community appreciates feedback, ideas, suggestion, bugs and
+documentation just as much as code. Please join the irc conversation
+at the #automotive channel on irc.freenode.net and our mailing list.
-Packagegroups

+For infomation for subscribing to the mailing list
+ [automotive-discussions](http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/automotive-discussions)
+For information about AGL Distribution, see the
+ [AGL Distribution](https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/agl-distro)
+For information abount Getting started with AGL

-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
+## Quick start guide
-The "packagegroups-agl-ivi-*" will contain AGL specific middleware packages.
-> directory: meta-agl/meta-agl/recipes-ivi/packagegroups
-> recipes : packagegroup-agl-ivi-[subsystem].bb
+See README-AGL.md
-Supported Machine
------------------
+## 'meta-agl' Layer Dependencies
-* QEMU (x86-64) - emulated machine: qemux86-64
+* poky
+ > URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
+ > branch : jethro
+ > tested revision: 40376446904ae3529be41737fed9a0b650ed167d
-Supported Target of bitbake
-------------------------
+* meta-openembedded
+ > URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
+ > layer : meta-openembedded
+ > branch : jethro
+ > tested revision: 8ab04afbffb4bc5184cfe0655049de6f44269990
-* `agl-image-ivi` The baseline image of AGL Distributions
+Specifically out of meta-openembedded these sub-layers are used:
-* `agl-image-minimal` For internal use to develop distribution (experimental)
-* `agl-image-weston` For internal use to develop distribution (experimental)
+* meta-openembedded/meta-oe
+* meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia
+* meta-openembedded/meta-networking
+* meta-openembedded/meta-python
-Build a QEMU image
-------------------
+## Layers
-You can build a QEMU image using the following steps:
+There are 5 layers in top-level `meta-agl`.
-1. Export TEMPLATECONF to pick up correct configuration for the build
- > $ export TEMPLATECONF=/full/path/to/meta-agl/meta-agl/conf
+* `meta-agl/meta-ivi-common`\
+ `meta-ivi-common` is a layer which contains common packages to AGL
+ Distribution and other platforms for In-Vehicle Infotainment system.
+* `meta-agl/meta-agl`\
+ `meta-agl` is a layer which contains AGL common and middleware packages.
+* `meta-agl/meta-agl-bsp`\
+ `meta-agl-bsp` is a layer which contains required packages to boot AGL
+ distribution on an emulated machine(QEMU).
+* `meta-agl/meta-netboot`\
+ `meta-netboot` contains the netboot initrd support recipes. This is needed
+ in case of booting over the network as NFS does not support the securitylabels.
-2. Rune the following command:
- > $ source poky/oe-init-build-env
+## Packagegroups
-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_option=1280x720-32"
+AGL package group design:
-5. Some weston samples are available from weston terminal.
+* packagegroup-agl-image-minimal
+
+ packagegroup-agl-core-automotive.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-core-connectivity.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-core-graphics.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-core-kernel.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-core-multimedia.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-core-navi-lbs.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-core-os-commonlibs.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-core-security.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-core-speech-services.bb
+
+These are for making image ``agl-image-minimal`` which is small image just
+capable of allowing a device to boot.
+
+Subsystem should maintain packagegroup-agl-core-[subsystem].bb which should
+hold sufficient packages to build ``agl-image-minimal``.
+
+* packagegroup-agl-image-ivi
+
+ packagegroup-agl-ivi-automotive.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-ivi-connectivity.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-ivi-graphics.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-ivi-kernel.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-ivi-multimedia.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-ivi-navi-lbs.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-ivi-os-commonlibs.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-ivi-security.bb
+ packagegroup-agl-ivi-speech-services.bb
+
+These are for making image ``agl-image-ivi`` which is baseline for the profiles
+of AGL distro. 'Baseline' means Service Layer and Operating System Layer defined
+in AGL Spec v1.0.
+
+* packagegroup-agl-test.bb
+
+Additional tools used in QA tests (for agl-image*-qa).
+
+* packagegroup-ivi-common*
+
+ packagegroup-ivi-common-core-automotive.bb
+ packagegroup-ivi-common-core.bb
+ packagegroup-ivi-common-core-connectivity.bb
+ packagegroup-ivi-common-core-graphics.bb
+ packagegroup-ivi-common-core-kernel.bb
+ packagegroup-ivi-common-core-multimedia.bb
+ packagegroup-ivi-common-core-navi-lbs.bb
+ packagegroup-ivi-common-core-os-commonlibs.bb
+ packagegroup-ivi-common-core-security.bb
+ packagegroup-ivi-common-core-speech-services.bb
+ packagegroup-ivi-common-test.bb
+
+These are for picking up some packages from upstreams like GENIVI/Tizen/Others.
+The layer of ``meta-ivi-common`` has no image to build, all packagegroups are
+aggregated to ``packagegroup-ivi-common-core' and it is included by images,
+``agl-image-ivi.bb`` and ``agl-demo-platform.bb``.
