+Diagnostic Log and Trace - Readme
+==================================
+Alexander Wenzel <Alexander.AW.Wenzel@bmw.de>
+
+Overview
+--------
+This component provides a standardised log and trace interface, based on the
+standardised protocol specified in the AUTOSAR standard 4.0 DLT.
+This component can be used by GENIVI components and other applications as
+logging facility providing
+
+- the DLT shared library
+- the DLT daemon
+- the DLT daemon adaptors
+- the DLT client console utilities
+- the DLT test applications
+
+The DLT daemon is the central component in GENIVI, which gathers all
+logs and traces from the DLT user applications. The logs and traces
+are stored optionally directly in a file in the ECU. The DLT daemon
+forwards all logs and traces to a connected DLT client.
+The DLT client can send control messages to the daemon, e.g. to set
+individual log levels of applications and contexts or get the list of
+applications and contexts registered in the DLT daemon.

+Known issues
+------------
+- DLT library: Usage of dlt_user_log_write_float64() and DLT_FLOAT64() leads to "Illegal instruction (core dumped)" on ARM target.
+- DLT library: Nested calls to DLT_LOG_ ... are not supported, and will lead to a deadlock.
