is confusing.

  1. it has this bit about
    cd litex-boards/litex_boards/targets; ./digilent_arty.py --toolchain symbiflow --cpu-type vexriscv --build
    which does not say where this is supposed to be installed/built

  2. lower down it says TARGET="arty_35" make -C linux_litex_demo
    this command works fine, and so does the openocd push (without the above because it didn't work for me as per /opt/symbiflow/xc7/install/bin/symbiflow_synth: line 93: prjxray-config: command not found + "ERROR: No such command: tcl" #154 )
    instructions do not say that this time serial terminal is at 115200 (different speed from the previous example). I guessed the speed eventually and got
