+# EDK2 Manageability Package
+
+The edk2 Manageability package is introduced to provide edk2 drivers and
+libraries for the industry platform management standards, such as PLDM (Platform
+Level Data Model), MCTP (Management Component Transfer Protocol) and IPMI
+(Intelligent Platform Management Interface). The framework of edk2 Manageability
+package is designed to flexibly support transports for the above industry standards, the transports such as KCS or I2C for IPMI, PCI VDM (Vendor Defined
+Message), I2C or KCS for MCTP, or the OEM proprietary transports.
+
+## EDK2 Manageability Package Driver Stack
+
+Below figure shows the driver stacks which are abstracted to support disparate
+transports for the platform management.
+
+
+## Build the Manageability Package
+In order to use the modules provided by ManageabilityPkg, **PACKAGES_PATH** must
+contains the path to point to [edk2-platform Features](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/tree/master/Features):
+
+```
+$ export PACKAGES_PATH=$PWD/edk2:$PWD/edk2-platforms:$PWD/edk2-platforms/Features
+```
+
+Due to the [IPMI Migration Work](#migration-of-ipmi-driver-stack-from-outofbandmanagement) is in progress, an
+additional package path is required to add to **PACKAGES_PATH** for the reference
+of IPMI modules those are currently located under
+[OutOfBandManagement](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/tree/master/Features/Intel/OutOfBandManagement) folder.
+
+```
+$PWD/edk2-platforms/Features/Intel/OutOfBandManagement
+```
+
+## Migration of IPMI Driver Stack from OutOfBandManagement
+
+This is the ongoing task that relocates IPMI modules from OutOfBandManagement to
+under ManageabilityPkg. This task also requires to abstract the transport layer
+from IPMI driver in order to flexibly support different transports adopted on the platform.

This is the initial version and we will add more content to describe the edk2 protocols for the manageability drivers such as protocol for PLDM and MCTP.
