 # embARC Open Software Platform (OSP)
 ## Introduction
-embARC OSP is an open software platform to facilitate the development of embedded systems based on ARCv2 processors.
+The embARC Open Software Platform (OSP) is a software distribution aimed at facilitating the development of embedded systems based on ARCv2 Processors.
 
 It is designed to provide a unified platform for ARCv2 users by defining consistent and simple software interfaces to the processor and peripherals, together with ports of several well known FOSS embedded software stacks to ARCv2 Processors.
 
-embARC OSP provides a solid starting foundation for embedded developers, simplifying development and improving time to market through software reuse.
