+Building for a Dev Board or FPGA
+================================
+
+Building an Example
+-------------------
+
+To compile a bare-metal RISC-V program:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   make BSP=mee [PROGRAM=hello] [TARGET=sifive-hifive1] software
+
+The square brackets in the above command indicate optional parameters for the
+Make invocation. As you can see, the default values of these parameters tell
+the build script to build the ``hello`` example for the ``sifive-hifive1`` target.
+If, for example, you wished to build the ``timer-interrupt`` example for the S51
+Arty FPGA Evaluation target, you would instead run the command
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   make BSP=mee PROGRAM=timer-interrupt TARGET=coreip-s51-arty software
+
+Uploading to the Target Board
+-----------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   make BSP=mee [PROGRAM=hello] [TARGET=sifive-hifive1] upload
+
+Debugging a Target Program
+--------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   make BSP=mee [PROGRAM=hello] [TARGET=sifive-hifive1] debug
+
+Cleaning a Target Program Build Directory
+-----------------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   make BSP=mee [PROGRAM=hello] [TARGET=sifive-hifive1] clean
