+TMK Keyboard Firmware Core Library
+==================================
+This is a keyboard firmware library with some useful features for Atmel AVR and Cortex-M.
+
+Source code is available here: <https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tree/core>
+
+
+Updates
+-------
+#### 2016/02/10
+flabbergast's Chibios protocol was merged from <https://github.com/flabbergast/tmk_keyboard/tree/chibios>. See [protocol/chibios/README.md](protocol/chibios/README.md). Chibios protocol supports Cortex-M such as STM32 and Kinetis.

+
+
+
+Features
+--------
+These features can be used in your keyboard.
+
+* Multi-layer Keymap - Multiple keyboard layouts with layer switching
+* Mouse key - Mouse control with keyboard
+* System Control Key - Power Down, Sleep, Wake Up and USB Remote Wake up
+* Media Control Key - Volume Down/Up, Mute, Next/Prev track, Play, Stop and etc
+* USB NKRO - 120 keys(+ 8 modifiers) simultaneously
+* PS/2 mouse support - PS/2 mouse(TrackPoint) as composite device
+* Keyboard protocols - PS/2, ADB, M0110, Sun and other old keyboard protocols
+* User Function - Customizable function of key with writing code
+* Macro - Very primitive at this time
+* Keyboard Tricks - Oneshot modifier and modifier with tapping feature
+* Debug Console - Messages for debug and interaction with firmware
+* Virtual DIP Switch - Configurations stored EEPROM(Boot Magic)
+* Locking CapsLock - Mechanical switch support for CapsLock
+* Breathing Sleep LED - Sleep indicator with charm during USB suspend
+* Backlight - Control backlight levels

+Debugging
+--------
+Use PJRC's `hid_listen` to see debug messages. You can use the tool for debug even if firmware use LUFA stack.
+
+You can use xprintf() to display debug info on `hid_listen`, see `common/xprintf.h`.
