+# Layer Contents
+
+## Supported Machines
+
+* raspberrypi
+* raspberrypi0
+* raspberrypi0-wifi
+* raspberrypi2
+* raspberrypi3
+* raspberrypi3-64 (64 bit kernel & userspace)
+* raspberrypi-cm (dummy alias for raspberrypi)
+* raspberrypi-cm3 (dummy alias for raspberrypi2)
+
+Note: The raspberrypi3 machines include support for Raspberry Pi 3B+.
+
+## Images
+
+* rpi-test-image
+ * Image based on core-image-base which includes most of the packages in this
+ layer and some media samples.
+
+For other uses it's recommended to base images on `core-image-minimal` or
+`core-image-base` as appropriate. The old image names (`rpi-hwup-image` and
+`rpi-basic-image`) are deprecated.
+
+## WiFi and Bluetooth Firmware
+
+Be aware that the WiFi and Bluetooth firmware for the supported boards
+is not available in the base version of `linux-firmware` from OE-Core
+(poky). The files are added from Raspbian repositories in this layer's
+bbappends to that recipe. All machines define
+`MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS` to include the required wireless firmware;
+raspberrypi3 supports 3, 3B, and 3B+ and so include multiple firmware
+packages.
