+with a carrier board. It is one of the more powerful MPU boards available and has some specialized
+applications in mind for use with GStreamer and electrical current measurement.
+
+## Buy
+
+You can purchase RZ/G3E-EVKIT from https://www.renesas.com/en/design-resources/boards-kits/rz-g3e-evkit

+
+## Getting started
+
+### Hardware setup
+
+You will need to provide your own 65 watt USB C power supply and a Micro SD card.
+
+- Connect SER3_UART to your PC.
+- Connect the Micro HDMI port to a monitor.
+- Optionally connect ethernet.
+- Connect the 65 watt USB power supply to USB-C PWR IN when it's time to power the board.
+
+### Software setup
+
+Follow the instructions in "RZ_G3E Evaluation Board Kit Quick Start Guide.pdf"
+in this repo which is from
+https://www.renesas.com/en/design-resources/boards-kits/rz-g3e-evkit#documents.
+It is a detailed guide for obtaining the OS image, flashing the Micro SD card, and
+flashing the board's bootloader into its ROM.
+This GitHub repo contains a copy of the prebuilt OS images ZIP file in the
+[Releases](https://github.com/lvgl/lv_port_renesas_rz-g3e-evkit/releases) artifacts.
+Flashing the bootloader is a bit complex
+so follow the directions carefully. The guide says to use Tera Term to send files over
+serial to the board. Tera Term is a Windows application. If you are using Linux, you can send
+files over serial by opening the serial port with the correct baud settings at least once
+and then using `cat` to send the file to the serial device. E.g. `cat file.txt > /dev/ttyUSB0`.
+You may be able to keep the serial terminal open while you run this command in a separate
+terminal.
+
+You need an SDK to cross-compile applications to run on the board. When you compile an OS
+image locally with Yocto, it also produces an SDK. To save you the time needed to build Yocto,
+an SDK is included in the GitHub repo's
+[Releases](https://github.com/lvgl/lv_port_renesas_rz-g3e-evkit/releases) artifacts.
+It's for x86-64 architecture systems, so you will need to use an
+x86-64 emulator to run it if your development PC is x86-32 or ARM based. Docker has support for emulation.
+Unzip sdk.zip and execute the shell script
+rz-vlp-glibc-x86_64-core-image-weston-cortexa55-smarc-rzg3e-toolchain-5.0.8.sh.
+If you wish to uninstall it, simply delete `/opt/rz-vlp/` or just `/opt/rz-vlp/5.0.8`
+if you have multiple SDK versions. To activate the SDK in your current terminal, run
+`. /opt/rz-vlp/5.0.8/environment-setup-cortexa55-poky-linux`. It will set environment
+variables like `CC`, the compiler. You can run `$CC main.c` to compile a C file that
+will be able to run on the board.
+
+### Run the project
+
+- Clone this repository and its submodules:
+  `git clone --recursive https://github.com/lvgl/lv_port_linux.git`
+- Open the project in an editor of your choice.
+- Before doing anything else in the terminal, make sure the SDK environment variables
+  have been set as mentioned above. Run
+  `. /opt/rz-vlp/5.0.8/environment-setup-cortexa55-poky-linux`.
+- We recommend using `drm-egl-2d` config for this board. Select it by running
+  The SDK includes `cmake` and `ninja` so you don't need to install them.
+
+  ```shell
+    cmake -B build -DCONFIG=drm-egl-2d -GNinja
+  ```
+- Edit `src/main.c` if you want to change the default demo.
+- Build the project. 
+  ```shell
+  ninja -C build -j$(nproc) lvglsim
+  ```
+- The executable is at `build/bin/lvglsim`. Copy it to the board. If ethernet is connected,
+  you can do it with `scp build/bin/lvglsim root@<board ip>:/root/` where `<board ip>` is
+  the IP address of the board which you find by running `ip a` on the board serial terminal.
+- In the serial terminal of the board, stop the Wayland desktop, weston,
+  so EGL can run directly on the display through DRM.
+  Run `systemctl stop weston weston.socket` to stop weston and the weston socket.
+- Run `./lvglsim` to start the app.
+
+You can also use the wayland configuration. Select it with:
+
+```shell
+cmake -B build -DCONFIG=wayland
+```
+
+You can give `-W` and `-H` arguments to `lvglsim` to change the window size.
+E.g. `./lvglsim -W 1920 -H 1080`. This project uses OpenGL ES
+by default since it was found to have the best flushing performance, especially when
+the refresh period is 16 ms (60 FPS target).
+
+### Debugging
+
+The OS image does not have `gdbserver` which is typically what you'd need to do remote
+interactive debugging. You will need to build the image with Yocto and include gdbserver
+in the configuration.
