+*****************************************************************************
+** ChibiOS/RT port for x86 into a Posix process **
+*****************************************************************************
+
+** TARGET **
+
+The demo runs under any Posix IA32 system as an application program. The serial
+I/O is simulated over TCP/IP sockets.
+
+** The Demo **
+
+The demo listens on the two serial ports, when a connection is detected a
+thread is started that serves a small command shell.
+The demo shows how to create/terminate threads at runtime, how to listen to
+events, how to work with serial ports, how to use the messages.
+You can develop your ChibiOS/RT application using this demo as a simulator
+then you can recompile it for a different architecture.
+See demo.c for details.
+
+** Build Procedure **
+
+The demo was built using GCC.
+
+** Connect to the demo **
+
+In order to connect to the demo a telnet client is required.
+
+Host Name: 127.0.0.1
+Port: 29001 and/or 29002
+Connection Type: Raw
