+Bluetooth Mesh Daemon
+*********************
+
+Copyright (C) 2019 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.
+
+Compilation and installation
+============================
+
+In addition to main BlueZ requirements, MeshCtl needs the following:
+ - json-c library
+
+Configuration and options
+=========================
+
+ --enable-mesh
+
+ Build mesh daemon and other Bluetooth Mesh based tools
+
+Current implementation of the mesh daemon requires exclusive access to
+a Bluetooth controller.
+The AutoEnable option in the installed main.conf should be set to "false".
+
+Storage
+=======
+
+Default storage directory is /var/lib/bluetooth/mesh.
+
+The directory contains the provisioned nodes configurations.
+Each node has its own subdirectory, named with a 4-digit (hexadecimal)
+identificator that is internally generated by the mesh daemon at the time
+of the node provisioning.
+
+Each subdirectory contains the following files:
+ - node.json:
+ node configuration and is populated by the
+ daemon based on the configuration commands from a
+ provisioner/configuration client
+ - node.json.bak:
+ a backup that the last known good node configuration.
+
+The files are in JSON format.
