+# NOde Firmware
+This directory contains the code sources. The current source code is at Rev level 1.1.
+
+Setting up a CubeIDE development project has several steps:
+1.  Download the code from this site.
+2.  Unzip it after the download
+3.  Navigate to the 'platforms' directory, and unzip the project for the appropriate platform.
+4.  Import the project into CubEIDE and Add the source code to it (see .pfd doc for instructions).
+5.  Build the code and download.
+
+The reasoning behind it is because goign forward several platforms are being supported, the code iteself
+is platform independent, so it can be shared between them. The platform code has the device specifics
+and should not need to be updated each time a release is made, however it is probably good practice to
+update it each time.
+
+There are pre-built binaries in the Bin directory for platforms that support a download.
+
+Currently supported platforms:
+Nucleo CC Experimenter node
+
+Release notes are in the node software document in the documentation directory.
