``meta-orchestraos-ml`` integrates the NXP machine-learning stack with
OrchestraOS for supported i.MX8M Plus targets. Its reference configuration
targets EIG-M and supports TensorFlow Lite inference through the OpenVX
delegate, which provides access to the platform's neural-processing hardware.

The layer contains:

- Integration with the NXP machine-learning package group.
- A reference image configuration including the ML stack and OpenCV.
- ONNX Runtime dependency and compiler compatibility patches.
- Package-selection adjustments for the reference ML image.

Hardware acceleration depends on the selected BSP, inference runtime, and model
operators. Applications supply their models, preprocessing, and inference
pipeline; the layer provides the runtime integration on which they build.

Dependencies, image composition, build instructions, and compatibility notes
are maintained in ``README.md`` in the ``meta-orchestraos-ml`` repository.
The layer is available under a separate commercial license; contact
sales@cthings.co for access and licensing information.
