+MicroPython embed port
+======================
+
+This is a port of MicroPython that outputs a set of .c and .h files for embedding
+into a wider project.  This port essentially targets the C language, instead of a
+particular hardware architecture or platform.
+
+To use this port in a project there are three main steps:
+
+1. Provide configuration for the project via an `mpconfigport.h` file.
+
+2. Build this embed port against that configuration, using the provided `embed.mk`.
+   The output is a set of self-contained source files for building MicroPython.
+   These files can be placed outside this repository.
+
+3. Build the project.  This requires compiling all .c files from the above step.
+
+See `examples/embedding` for an example.
