+# SoftAP Fix
+
+This script is used to fix Notecard (NOTE-ESP) devices that are missing the
+assets required to run SoftAP. This Script should only be run against
+ESP32-based Wi-Fi Notecards and not Cell+WiFi or legacy Notecards.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Make sure you are running Notecard Firmware (`7.4.2` or later). Visit
+[blues.dev](https://dev.blues.io/notecard/notecard-firmware-updates/) for
+upgrade instructions.
+
+2. Connect the Notecard to your machine via USB (Serial).
+
+3. From a command line, change to the directory containing this `README.md`.
+
+4. Run the instructions below:
+
+   1. **LINUX ONLY:** Create a python virtual environment
+
+    ```bash
+    sudo apt install python3 python3-venv
+    python3 -m venv blues-env
+    source blues-env/bin/activate
+    ```
+
+   2. Install requirements and execute the script
+
+    ```bash
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+    python main.py
+    ```
+
+    > _**NOTE:** By DEFAULT this script attempts to identify which serial port
+    > the Notecard is connected.  If it cannot detect which serial port to use,
+    > you may need to specify which serial port. If the script is unable to
+    > detect the correct port, then you may
+    > [manually specify the correct port](#specify-serial-port)_
+
+   3. **LINUX ONLY:** Exit the virtual environment
+
+    ```bash
+    deactivate
+    ```
+
+
+### Specify Serial Port (OPTIONAL)
+
+To specify which serial port to use for communicating with the Notecard, use
+the following syntax:
+
+```bash
+python main.py -p <port-id>
+```
+
+where `<port-id>` is the name of the serial port on your operating system.
