+The images directory contains the following:
+ - a Makefile for building firmware and fpga images
+ - a CMake file for building an images package
+
+The Makefile and build systems for the images are probably Unix specific.
+Its best to build the images on a Unix system with standard build tools.
+The CMake package target will create an images package for your system.
+
+To build the images (unix):
+ make clean
+ make images
+
+To build the package (unix):
+ mkdir build
+ cd build
+ cmake -DCPACK_GENERATOR=<type> ../
+ make package
+
+The package generator types are described here:
+ http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators
+
+Fedora note:
+ The sdcc binaries are prefixed with "sdcc-" which breaks the build.
+ However, /usr/libexec/sdcc contains properly named sdcc binaries.
+ export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/libexec/sdcc
