Hello Michael,

I have reviewed both packages and here is feedback for the READMEs.  As noted earlier,
I am not able to test the setup, so can only comment on instructions.

geni_umf_v3_3pin package:
=======================
1. Minor. The README_ERM_Updated.txt "Getting started with Design" section uses the
    project name "reference_nic", it is probably a well known term, but it should be explicitly
    mapped to the geni_umf_v3_3pin project.

2. In the same section the directories descriptions do not match what is delivered in
     the package:
    - README states "The src directory is empty". In the package, the directory
     contains these files: crypto.v,  crypto.v~, user_data_path.v  user_data_path.v~.
   - README states "The sw directory is empty".  In the package there is no "sw" delivered.
   - README states "There is one file under include". In the package there are two files
     "crypto_defines.v" and "dev_id.v" in addition to "lib_modules.txt"

GENI 10 Simulations 2 Package:
=========================
3.  Readme does not provide an overview that explains the scope of the package.

4. The "Running the simulator" section does not explain about the simulator,
    and it does not list which simulator the files can be used in.  Should include
   Simulator name and version.
