-Disclaimer
----------------------------------------------------------
-These have currently been tested in windows CCS only. Once testing on the linux distribution for CCS is complete this README will be updated.
-
-Setting up the file system
----------------------------------------------------------
-ensure that wolfssl is on the C:/ drive and remove any version numbers on the file. For example if your wolfssl directory is named "wolfssl_3_1_0 or wolfssl-3.1.0" rename it to "wolfssl". You should now have C:/wolfssl directory.
-
-Clone this repository using "github for windows". The projects have been made portable so you can run them straight from the github clone repo or you can copy and paste the "tirtos_ccs_examples" folder out of the repo to wherever and
-they should still debug just fine once imported into your workspace (see end of this README).

-Instructions for building wolfSSL application for TI-RTOS
----------------------------------------------------------
-
-Installing the software
------------------------
-1. Install the NDK product ndk 2.24.00.05 in C:/ti using the following URL (http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/tmp/ndk_2_24_00_05_eng.zip)
-2. Open CCS. A prompt opens asking to install discovered product. Select the ndk product and click finish. Restart if prompted.
-3. In CCS, open View -> CCS App Center. Search "ti-rtos". Select "TI-RTOS for TivaC" from the results and click Install Software. Follow the instructions.

-Building wolfSSL libraries for TI-RTOS
--------------------------------------
-1. Replace tirtos.mak in C:\ti\tirtos_tivac_2_00_02_36 with the tirtos.mak from git@github.com:wolfSSL/wolfssl.git. Ensure you have wolfssl in the proper location (should be C:/wolfssl).
-2. Open a command prompt. CD into C:\ti\tirtos_tivac_2_00_02_36.
-3. Run the make command to build wolfSSL libaries.
+Step 1: Download CCS
+--
+(If you already have Code Composer Studio (CCS) installed skip to step 2)
+Download CCS here: http://www.ti.com/tool/ccstudio
+
+Installer will walk you through setting up CCS. Choose options for your platform and desired compiler(s).
+
+expected install location: C:\ti
+
+Step 2: Download tivac
+--
+(If you already have TIRTOS for TivaC skip to step 3)
+Find CCS App Center it will be an option on the "Getting Started" page or click View -> CCS App Center
+Under the title "Code Composer Studio Add-ons" check the box under "TI-RTOS for TivaC"
+Now on the top of the page click "Install Software"
+
+expected install location: C:\ti
+
+Step 3: Download wolfSSL
+--
+Download wolfSSL from here: https://wolfssl.com/wolfSSL/download/downloadForm.php
+or
+clone wolfSSL development branch from here: https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl
+
+expected install location: C:\wolfssl
+
+Step 4: Build the libraries
+--
+At this point we are ready to build wolfssl libraries with TIRTOS
+
+WINDOWS:
+ in the file browser navigate to: `C:\ti\ccsv6\tools\compiler` and see which
+ compiler you have installed `ti-cgt-arm_x.x.x` and make a note of it.
+ now in the file browser navigate to `C:\ti\tirtos_tivac_xxxxxxx`
+ open `tirtos.mak` in your preferred text editor
+ locate the line specifying your compiler should be on or around line 11 and
+ will look something like this:
+ `ti.targets.arm.elf.M4F ?= $(DEFAULT_INSTALLATION_DIR)/ccsv6/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-arm_5.2.5`
+ make sure you are using the `ti-cgt-agrm_x.x.x` that you noted previously
+ next locate the wolfSSL section should be on or around line 45 and looks like this:
+ `WolfSSL settings`
+ `WOLFSSL_INSTALLATION_DIR ?= C:\wolfssl`
+ `WOLFSSL_TIRTOS_DIR = $(WOLFSSL_INSTALLATION_DIR)/tirtos
`
+ Modify WOLFSSL_INSTALLATION_DIR to be the location of your wolfssl directory. Should be C:\wolfssl.
+ Open a command promp and navigate to `C:\ti\tirtos_tivac_xxxxxxx`
+ use the following command to build TIRTOS and wolfssl
+ `..\xdctools_3_31_01_33_core\gmake.exe -f tirtos.mak wolfssl`
+
+ The libraries should build without issues.
+
+Step 5: Loading first example
+--
+ In CCS click dropdown for "Project" and select "Examples..."
+
+ Locate: TI-RTOS for TivaC+ In the "TI Resource Explorer window" Click on the link in "Step 1" to import the project.
