 An example application that runs on any reasonably POSIX system, such as Linux, BSD, Mac OS, as
 well as some RTOS.
 
+The application does the following
+- Initializes a buffer with some pixel data and uses that buffer to build an image
+- Prints this image out to console
+- It then applies a number of format conversions to the image 
+- Fills an output buffer with the the converted image
+
+
+Note: 
+On some systems you may run into a missing python issues, usually one needs to install python or symlink
+a specific version of python such as `python3` to python.
