+Embedded Test Framework
+=======================
+
+This is the third incarnation of my embedded test framework.
+
+It started with the concrete idea of musl libc author Rich Felker
+on the musl-libc mailing-list.
+http://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2013/12/03/26
+
+After that I implemented musl-test-framework which is no longer
+online available. It was just to test musl. The next incarnation
+was adk-test-framework, which tries to be more flexible regarding
+what project should be tested. 
+
+Both solutions required binary kernel and initramfs for the Qemu
+runtime tests and toolchains for the compiling.
+
+The third incarnation now uses either OpenADK or buildroot to
+build a toolchain, the base system and the C library.
+Then it runs either a libc test suite, the ltp project or
+a native compile of a toolchain. More tests can be impemented
+later.
+
+Have fun
