+This code base is designed for the MinnowBoard Max/Turbot platforms using the Intel(R) Atom(tm) Processor E3800 Series.
+This code base is based on UDK2015 core packages.

+3.  MAINTAINERS
+
+## 1. HOW TO CREATE A FULL SOURCE TREE
+
+1. Create a new folder (directory) on the root of your local development machine
+   for use as your work space (this example uses "C:\MyWorkspace").
+
+   NOTE: Some code paths are very long, and placing the working directory too
+         deep below the ROOT directory may cause the path to be longer than the
+         operating system or file system's maximum path length.
+
+2. Get MinnowBoard Max branch from GitHub with the following command.
+   1. Run `git clone -b minnowboard-max-udk2015 https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms.git`
+   2. Enter folder edk2-platforms
+   3. Run `git checkout fd6510974d21282b9f8c1ff003c05b92a464bca6`
+
+   Once the download completes, all EDK II packages and files will be found
+   under the "C:\MyWorkspace\edk2-platforms" directory.
+
+3. Get the BaseTools binary and copy them to BaseTools binary folder.
+   1. Enter folder BaseTools\Bin
+   2. `git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-BaseTools-win32.git Win32`
+   3. Enter folder Win32
+   4. `git checkout ea691aec89b06aa83474100df1de000a875b4ea0`
+
+4. Download MinnowBoard MAX 0.96 Binary Object Modules from http://firmware.intel.com/projects/minnowboard-max.
+   The "MinnowBoard_MAX-0.96-Binary.Objects.zip" file contains three additional
+   folders required for the full source tree.
+   
+   IA32FamilyCpuPkg
+   
+   Vlv2BinaryPkg
+   
+   Vlv2MiscBinariesPkg
+   
+   Unzip and copy the three folders to the workspace directory (e.g. "C:\MyWorkspace\edk2-platforms").
+
+
+## 2. HOW TO BUILD (WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT)
+
+Windows System Configuration:
+  Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit*
+
+1. Setup Build Environment
+
+   1. Install Visual Studio 2008/2010/2012/2013 on the build machine.
+
+   2. Install the latest Python 2 Release from: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
+      * Make sure that a file with the extension of ".py" will be opened by Python.exe.
+
+2. Extract Source Code
+   1. Follow the instructions of "HOW TO CREATE A FULL SOURCE TREE" (step 1 above)
+      to create a full source tree.
+
+   2. Follow the instructions found in the file "Patch-HOWTO.txt" located in your
+      workspace (e.g. "C:\MyWorkspace\CryptoPkg\Library\OpensslLib\Patch-HOWTO.txt") 
+      to install the Openssl source code.
+
+3. Install the iasl compiler by downloading iasl-win-20141107.zip from the following
+   location: "https://acpica.org/downloads/version-20141107" and place the unzipped
+   content ("iasl.exe") into the directory "C:\ASL" on your local hard drive
+   (create the folder "C:\ASL" if it does not exist).
+   
+4a. Build Steps (32-bit)
+
+   1. To build a 32-bit release version
+      * Open a command prompt of Microsoft Visual Studio, such as "Developer Command Prompt for VS2013";
+      * Type the command: `cd C:\MyWorkspace\edk2-platforms\Vlv2TbltDevicePkg`
+      * Type the command: `Build_IFWI.bat /IA32 MNW2 Release` to build a release version.
+
+   2. To build a 32-bit debug version
+      * Open a command prompt of Microsoft Visual Studio, such as "Developer Command Prompt for VS2013";
+      * Type the command: `cd C:\MyWorkspace\edk2-platforms\Vlv2TbltDevicePkg`
+      * Type the command: `Build_IFWI.bat /IA32 MNW2 Debug` to build a debug version.
+
+   3. After the build successfully completes, the 8MB firmware binary image will be located in the
+       following location on your local hard drive:
+
+      "C:\MyWorkspace\edk2-platforms\Vlv2TbltDevicePkg\Stitch\"
+
+4b. Build Steps (64-bit)
+
+   1. To build a 64-bit release version
+      * Open a command prompt of Microsoft Visual Studio, such as "Developer Command Prompt for VS2013";
+      * Type the command: `cd C:\MyWorkspace\edk2-platforms\Vlv2TbltDevicePkg`
+      * Type the command: `Build_IFWI.bat MNW2 Release` to build a release version.
+
+   2. To build a 64-bit debug version
+      * Open a command prompt of Microsoft Visual Studio, such as "Developer Command Prompt for VS2013";
+      * Type the command: `cd C:\MyWorkspace\edk2-platforms\Vlv2TbltDevicePkg`
+      * Type the command: `Build_IFWI.bat MNW2 Debug` to build a debug version.
+
+   3. After the build successfully completes, the 8MB firmware binary image will be located in the
+      following location on your local hard drive:
+
+      "C:\MyWorkspace\edk2-platforms\Vlv2TbltDevicePkg\Stitch\"
