 Elma
 ===
 
-Elma is an event loop and process manager for embedded systems. Elma is structured as a C++ library of classes on top of which you build your own C++ project. It keeps track of processes, finite state machines, events, and communication channels, executing them at specified frequencies. Elma was developed as part of the University of Washington's [ECE P 520 course](https://github.com/klavins/ECEP520) on advanced embedded systems programming. More information on how Elma was designed can be found in the links below:
