+Dependencies
+============
+
+This layer depends on:
+
+        URI: git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake
+
+        URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
+        layers: meta
+
+Build Instructions
+==================
+
+The following instructions require a Poky installation (or equivalent).
+
+Initialize a build using the 'oe-init-build-env' script in Poky. Once
+initialized configure bblayers.conf by adding the 'meta-xilinx' layer. e.g.:
+
+        BBLAYERS ?= " \
+                <path to layer>/oe-core/meta \
+                <path to layer>/meta-xilinx \
+                "
+
+To build a specific target BSP configure the associated machine in local.conf:
+
+        MACHINE ?= "zc702-zynq7"
+
+Build the target file system image using bitbake:
+
+        $ bitbake core-image-minimal
+
+Once complete the images for the target machine will be available in the output
+directory 'tmp/deploy/images'.
+
+Additional Documentation
+========================
