-This source repository is a top-level container for all of the main software
-and firmware components developed in the FreeCalypso project.
-The subtrees of this source tree are as follows:
-
-compal-flash-boot-for-fc
-		A patched version of Compal's flash boot code for Mot C11x/12x
-		and C139/140 families, modified to work with main fw images from
-		FreeCalypso subprojects.  It is compatible with our own gsm-fw
-		and with tcs211-c139.
-
-ffstools	Here you will find tools for "in vitro" examination of FFS
-		(flash file system) images read out of TI-based GSM devices.
-		See doc/TIFFS-Overview for more information.
+This source repository has been retired and will not receive any further
+development; it is kept around only to preserve history.  Further development
+of software components contained in this repository has been moved to two new
+repositories:
 
-gsm-fw		Our Calypso GSM firmware reconstruction and reintegration
-		attempt lives here; see doc/Firmware_Architecture and
-		doc/Firmware_Status for more information.
-
-loadtools	These tools allow you to load your own code into Calypso GSM
-		devices.  Using these tools, you can load code into target
-		device IRAM or XRAM and run it there, as well as dump and load
-		flash.  The operation of these tools is based on gaining
-		control of the target device either through the Calypso on-chip
-		boot ROM (on freedom-enabled devices), or through the
-		flash-resident boot code on the crippled Compal phones.
-
-lcdemu		fc-lcdemu is built here.
-
-miscutil	fc-rgbconv, fc-serterm and imei-luhn are built here.
+gcc-built experimental GSM firmware (gsm-fw):
 
-rvinterf	In common with TI's original fw, FreeCalypso GSM fw implements
-		the so-called RiViera serial MUX, which is a binary packet
-		protocol for multiplexing many kinds of debug and development
-		traffic over just one available physical serial port.  This
-		rvinterf directory contains our suite of tools for connecting
-		to this RV serial interface, supporting both our own gsm-fw as
-		well as some existing proprietary firmwares to the extent to
-		which they are compatible.
-
-target-utils	This tree contains code that runs on Calypso targets, but is
-		not regular firmware (gsm-fw) or a part thereof.  The two key
-		components built in this tree are loadagent (needed for all
-		targets) and compalstage (for Compal phones only), which need
-		to be installed on the user's host system in order for
-		loadtools (see above) to do their job.
+	Now called FreeCalypso Citrine and maintained in the
+	freecalypso-citrine repository.
 
-toolchain	Scripts and patches for building the gcc+binutils toolchain
-		targeting ARM7, the CPU core of the Calypso GSM/GPRS baseband
-		processor.  You'll need to build and install this toolchain
-		first before you can build gsm-fw or target-utils.

+FreeCalypso host tools and target-utils:
 
-Please see our website at www.freecalypso.org for information on:
-
-* The overall FreeCalypso libre phone project, beyond this specific sw/fw
-  subproject;
-
-* Our community mailing list and how you can subscribe to it;
-
-* How you can help the human family behind the project with donations and how
-  you can accelerate the progress of our project by funding it.
