 # UPIWIN - Micro Pi Windows Kernel
 
-Requirements:
+This project involves the development of a framework for running self-contained applications in Python
-- Raspberry Pi 3 with PiTFT touchscreen
+on a Raspberry Pi with LCD graphical output and touchscreen input.  The ultimate goal is to produce a
+framework which is flexible enough to serve any number of “appliance” needs, by using different Python
+scripts over the same native-code substrate, deployed on an inexpensive embedded platform.
+
+## Hardware requirements
+
+- Raspberry Pi 3 with PiTFT touchscreen (Adafruit product ID 2423)
+
+## Acknowledgements
