yes, that's the main "setup" page.

please do follow the procedure on the wiki page (the
debootstrap-chroot) because we need "repeatability".  this is
critically important, that everyone involved uses *exactly* the same
tools and libraries.

the chip layout produced by the scripts *absolutely has* to be
repeatable (hence, jock, why GUIs are not used for this in the
industry, only as a "viewer").

although, *sigh*, i am going to have to redo it to use debian/10,
see http://bugs.libre-riscv.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178

here's the top-level bugreport:
http://bugs.libre-riscv.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138#c0

other things:

* https://libre-riscv.org/charter/
* http://lists.libre-riscv.org/mailman/listinfo
* https://libre-riscv.org/HDL_workflow/
* https://libre-riscv.org/nlnet/

so, first things first: do review those, read the charter, join the
mailing list, introduce yourself to everyone, and let us know - on the
list - if you're happy with the charter or have any questions.

thanks!
