+- [bitbake](https://github.com/openembedded/bitbake), with a matching branch.
+- An installed Sourcery G++ toolchain
+- An existing build directory configured for this bitbake and

+## Usage & Instructions
 
-- Ensure that you have the Sourcery G++ toolchain installed.
 - If it's an ia32 toolchain, make sure you did *not* let it modify your PATH,
   and if you did, remove it.
