-# TODO
-
-* use chroot
-* run all nmigen and yosys dev-scripts hdl-dev-repos hdl-tools-yosys  	
-  install-hdl-apt-reqs
-* run nextpnr-xilinx dev-script and nextpnr-ecp5-install
-* run hdl-dev-ls2 dev-script
-* git clone microwatt as well
-* make hello_world.bin in microwatt and copy it to ls2
-* "make microwatt_external_core" in soc and copy external_core_top.v to ls2
-* plug in FPGA board (Arty A7-100t, VERSA_ECP5, other)
-* run in 2nd terminal "minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB1"
-* python3 src/ls2.py arty_a7 hello_world.bin (for an Arty A7-100t)
-* OR python3 src/ls2.py versa_ecp5 hello_world.bin (for a VERSA_ECP5)
+# Steps for Hello World Microwatt ls2 for fpga/boards 
+
+* Currently works for Arty A7-100t, VERSA_ECP5 and in future others
+
+* Bugzilla page <https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=802>

+    cd hello_world/
+    make
+    cp hello_world.bin ../../ls2
+    cd ../..
+
+    pip3 install textx
+
+    # somehow pip3 install of fasm fails, so we manually install

+    cd fasm-0.0.2.post88
+    python3 setup.py install
+    cd ..
+
+    cd soc
+
+    # pip3 may install newer nmigen from repo which may cause error
+    # in next step. If so you can run "python3 setup.py develop"
+    # in nmigen source directory.
+
+    make microwatt_external_core
+    cp external_core_top.v ../ls2
+    cd ../ls2

+    # plug in FPGA board (Arty A7-100t, VERSA_ECP5, other)
+    # run in 2nd terminal "minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB1"
+
+    python3 src/ls2.py arty_a7 hello_world.bin
+
+* this directly programs a tmp bitstream using xc3sprog to nexys4 board
+* If needed modify sources to produce a fixed file bitstream and
+* cp top.bit to board/server
+* xc3sprog -c nexys4 top.bit
+* minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB1
+
