+OpenEmbedded/Yocto BSP layer for Toradex modules
+================================================
+
+This layer provides support for the ARM based Toradex COMs
+featuring NVIDIA Tegra, Freescale Vybrid and Freescale i.MX6 SOCs.
+For more information on available Toradex COMs please visit:
+
+https://www.toradex.com/computer-on-modules
+
+
+This layer is a BSP and image layer, containing machines for Toradex
+modules, Toradex specific user space applications and customised
+Ångström/LXDE based images.
+For information on how to use the modules with Linux and instructions
+on how to build the angstrom based demo images please visit:
+http://developer.toradex.com/software-resources/arm-family/linux/board-support-package
+
+For support, visit the Toradex Developer Community:
+https://www.toradex.com/community
+
+Note: It is planned to split this layer. A BSP layer for the Tegra
+based COMs, the recipes related to Freescale based COMs moved to
+meta-fsl-arm-extra and a layer for the demo images.
+
+
+This layer depends on:
