+Instructions on how to execute UTEST.
+
+* When using an SDK - make sure it has been built
+  for an x86 machine.
+
+- First, generate the configure script with a call
+  to ./bootstrap.sh.
+- Once configure script generated, configure with flags
+  "./configure ${CONFIGURE_FLAGS} --enable-oe-sdk"
+- Be sure to include --enable-oe-sdk or the tests
+  will not run properly.
+- Lastly "make check" will build the application
+  source along with unit tests.  Make check also
+  runs the unit tests automatically.
+
+* WHEN RUNNING UTEST remember to take advantage
+  of the gtest capabilities. "./utest --help"
+  - --gtest_repeat=[COUNT]
+  - --gtest_shuffle
+  - --gtest_random_seed=[NUMBER]
