+	Instructions to generate private.key and X509 certificate
+
+A) Generate a sha256 self-signed X509 certificate and a 2048 bits RSA private key
+$ openssl req -x509 -sha256 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout qtipri.key -out qti.crt.pem
+
+B) convert private key from PKCS#8 to PKCS#1 format, save it as qti.key.
+$ openssl rsa -in qtipri.key -out qti.key
+
+C) This private key "qti.key" need to be saved under folder "poky/recipes-kernel/linux-quic/kernel/" and
+"poky/recipes-kernel/linux-msm-4.4/kernel/", used to generate bootimage signature.
+
+D) convert certificate from PEM to DER format
+$ openssl x509 -outform der -in qti.crt.pem -out qti.crt.der
+
+E) open qti.crt.der file in a HEX editor, and then put HEX numbers into array
+    LE_OEM_CERTIFICATE[] in LEOEMCertificate.h
