The Architecture - how things play together

The GPE architecture overview can give you a basic impression how pieces of software and core technologies play together and sum up to a comprehensive software stack.
This architecture is not static, its possible to extend it for special needs or to reduce it in the case that some parts are not used on a particular hardware platform.

See the Wiki page GpeThingsToDo for a list of things that particularly need attention.
