 The current implementation is missing essential features for place and route.
 As these features are added, this implementation will become more useful.
 
- - [ ] Placement constraints are unimplemented, meaning invalid or unroutable
-       designs can be generated from the placer.
  - [ ] Logical netlist macro expansion is not implemented, meaning that any
        macro primitives are unplaceable.  Common macro primitives examples are
        differential IO buffers (IBUFDS) and some LUT RAM (e.g. RAM64X1D).
- - [ ] Cell -> BEL pin mapping is not in place, meaning any primitives that
-       have different BEL pins with respect to their cell pins will not be
-       routable.
- - [ ] Nextpnr only allows for cell -> BEL pin maps that are 1 to 1.  The
-       FPGA interchange accommodates cell -> BEL pin maps that include 1 to
-       many relationships for sinks.  A common primitives that uses 1 to many
-       maps are the RAMB18E1.
  - [ ] The router lookahead is missing, meaning that router runtime
        performance will be terrible.
- - [ ] Physical netlist backend is missing, so even if
-       `nextpnr-fpga_interchange` completes successfully, there is no way to
-       generate output that can be consumed by downstream tools.
- - [ ] XDC parsing and port constraints are unimplemented, so IO pins cannot
-       be fixed.  The chipdb BBA output is also missing package pin data, so
-       only site constraints are currently possible. Eventually the chipdb BBA
-       should also include package pin data to allow for ports to be bound to
-       package pins.
  - [ ] The routing graph that is currently emitted does not have ground and
        VCC networks, so all signals must currently be tied to an IO signal.

+This Makefile will generate a Xilinx A35 chipdb if java, capnproto and

+### Installing dependencies
+
+Install java and javac if not already installed:
+```
+# Or equivalent for your local system.
+sudo apt-get install openjdk-10-jdk
+```
+
+Install capnproto if not already installed:

+cd capnproto-java
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+### Instructions
+
+Once dependencies are installed, just run "make".  This should download
+remaining dependencies and build the chipdb and build nextpnr if not built.
+
+#### Re-building the chipdb
+
+```
+# Remove the text BBA
+rm build/nextpnr/fpga_interchange/chipdb.bba
+# Build the BBA
+make
