WIP

Scope

Goal is to provide easymesh AP reference profile for RDK-B community

How does it serve community

This will be a core reference profile for SoC and OEM's to develop AP agent profile on base SDK
This will help OEM's/SoC's to identify list of components required
This will help OEM/SoC companies to prepare MVP for their ISP's (RDK Team will share test cases)
