+== HOWTO Build a Bitfile =====================================================
+
+The Xilinx ISE development must be installed and licensed on the local machine.
+A set of command-line build scripts are usually used to build the project
+instead of the ISE IDE, but the later could be configured and used as well.
+
+Python and GNU make must be on the $PATH.
