Description

The whatsnew60 file claims the wr-installer README can be found in the installation directory:
-------------------------------------------------
  ii) WR Installer

     Before using the feature, please review the README file in the wr-installer layer. The
     README file contains instructions on how to use these features, general information.

     FYI:

     Installdir/wrlinux-6/layers/wr-installer/README
     Installdir/wrlinux-6/layers/layers/wr-installer/installer.md
------------------------------------------------

But the README doesn't exist there.

Workaround

The Installdir/wrlinux-6/layers/wr-installer is actually a bare git repository and the README is in that git repository. You can get access to the README by cloning a copy of the installer in a temporary directory:

$ mkdir ~/tmp
$ cd ~/tmp
$ git clone Installdir/wrlinux-6/layers/wr-installer
Cloning into 'wr-installer'...
done.

This will create a wr-installer directory that has the README file in it:

$ ls wr-installer
classes       meta-openembedded     recipes-devtools     recipes-misc
conf          README                recipes-extended     recipes-security
examples      recipes-cgl           recipes-filesystems  recipes-support
installer.md  recipes-connectivity  recipes-graphics     templates
licenses      recipes-core          recipes-installer
