+**6) Binutils support for assembling the above instructions**
+
+Currently, our reference Python assembler needs to be used to translate assembly
+files containing the new instructions. However. many (not all) instructions were
+added to the Binutil assembler (gas) as well. See:
+[code](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/svp64). To install, run the
+`./binutils-gdb-install` script from the
+[developer scripts](/HDL_workflow/devscripts).
