+The baremetal test/example makefile is located under ti/drv/gpio/test/<arch>,\r
+where <arch> is "c66" or armv7, the makefile builds both the test and example.\r
+\r
+To build baremetal test/example, run the following commands:\r
+\r
+cd ti/drv/gpio\r
+gmake -f test/baremetal/<arch>/makefile DEVICE=<DEVICE_NAME>\r
+\r
+where <arch> is "c66" or armv7, and <DEVICE_NAME> is "K2H", "K2K", "K2E", "K2L", "C6678", "C6657".\r
+\r
+Notes:\r
+1. Currently only K2 C66 baremetal test/example is supported\r
+2. PDK need to be installed properly to include the board/osal libs\r
+3. The following paths need to be set/exported properly to build the test/example:\r
+ * PDK_INSTALL_PATH\r
+ * CGTOOLS\r
+ * TOOLCHAIN_PATH_A15\r
+ * CROSS_TOOL_PRFX\r
+\r
+ E.g., in windows, run the following commands before calling the makefile:\r
+ set PDK_INSTALL_PATH="C:/ti/<pdk_###>/packages"\r
+ set CGTOOLS="C:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-c6000_8.0.3"\r
+ set TOOLCHAIN_PATH_A15="C:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_8-2014q3"\r
+ set CROSS_TOOL_PRFX="arm-none-eabi-"\r
