+
+* meta-arm-autonomy
+
+  This layer is the distribution for a reference stack for autonomous systems.
+
+* meta-arm-bsp
+
+  This layer contains machines for Arm reference platforms, for example FVP Base, N1SDP, and Juno.
+
+* meta-arm-toolchain
+
+  This layer contains recipes for Arm's binary toolchains (GCC and Clang for -A and -M), and a recipe to build Arm's GCC.
+
+* meta-atp
+
+  This layer contains recipes for the Adaptive Traffic Generation integration into meta-gem5.
+
+* meta-gem5
+
+  This layer contains recipes and machines for gem5, a system-level and processor simulator.
+
+
+Other Directories
+-----------------
+
+* ci
+
+  This directory contains gitlab continuous integration configuration files (KAS yaml files) as well as scripts needed for this

+
+Contributing
+------------
+Currently, we only accept patches from the meta-arm mailing list.  For general
+information on how to submit a patch, please read
+https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
+
+E-mail meta-arm@lists.yoctoproject.org with patches created using this process. You can configure git-send-email to automatically use this address for the meta-arm repository with the following git command:
+
+$ git config --local --add sendemail.to meta-arm@lists.yoctoproject.org
+
+Commits and patches added should follow the OpenEmbedded patch guidelines:
+
+https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines
+
+The component being changed in the shortlog should be prefixed with the layer name (without the meta- prefix), for example:
+
+  arm-bsp/trusted-firmware-a: decrease frobbing level
+
+  arm-toolchain/gcc: enable foobar v2
+
+Reporting bugs
+--------------
+E-mail meta-arm@lists.yoctoproject.org with the error encountered and the steps
+to reproduce the issue.
