README

+This layer adds packages to the Vesta developer image that may be helpful to 
+customers writing applications that interact with NXP's Thread border router 
+code running on the 300R's R41Z module.
+
+This layer should be used in conjunction with the meta-volansys-gw layer,
+since that layer contains additional components that are needed for
+interacting with the NXP boarder router code.
+
+At the current time, the packages specified in the recipes-volansys section of
+this layer are not included in the build, as the Volansys demo does not
+currently work on Rigado gateways, due to registration issues (the demo 
+requires a valid Volansys Modular Gateway serial number and QR symbol), and
+incompatibility with the bluez5 version used by Rigado's gateway.  However,
+source code that is present in components such as ThreadControl may server
+as useful models for those writing their own code interacting with NXP's
+Thread boarder router firmware.
+
+To use the meta-volansys-gw and meta-volansys-gw-demo layers:
+
+1) In your vesta-gateway-bsp/sources directory, run:
+
+   git clone git@git.rigado.com:vesta/meta-volansys-gw.git
+
+and 
+
+   git clone git@git.rigado.com:vesta/meta-volansys-gw.git-demo
+
+2) Add the following lines to your vesta-gateway-bsp/build/conf/bblayers.conf
+    file:
+
+   ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-volansys-gw \
+   ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-volansys-gw-demo \
+
+3) Add the following line to the vesta-gateway-bsp/sources/meta-vesta/
+	recipes-vesta/images/vesta-image-developer.bb file's 
+	IMAGE_INSTALL_append variable:
+
+   packagegroup-volansys-gw \
+
+4) from vesta-gateway-bsp, run the command:
+
+   MACHINE=vesta-300 DISTRO=poky source setup-environment build
+
+5) Run the command:
+
+   bitbake vesta-image-developer
+
