-### Bringing your own toolchain
-
-`./meson_init.sh` needs to know where the toolchain you are using is, and which tools from it should be used.
-
-If you are using the lowrisc-provided toolchain (obtained with `get-toolchain.py`), and it is installed in the default location (`/tools/riscv`), then `./meson_init.sh` does not need additional configuration.
-
-If you are using the lowrisc-provided toolchain, but have located it in a non-default location (using `get-toolchain.py -t /path/to/lowrisc/toolchain`), you can use the environment variable `TOOLCHAIN_PATH` to point to your toolchain location, like so:
-
-```console
-export TOOLCHAIN_PATH=/path/to/lowrisc/toolchain
-./meson_init.sh
-```
-
-If you have moved a lowrisc-provided toolchain (obtained with `get-toolchain.py`), you will need to update paths within the meson toolchain configuration files within the toolchain installation.
-These are called `meson-<triple>-<compiler>.txt`, and are present in toolchains since version 20200602-1.
-You can still use `TOOLCHAIN_PATH` to point to the toolchain location if you have updated the paths within these files.
-
-If you have built your own toolchain by following option 2 under [Installing Software Build Requirements]({{< relref "doc/ug/install_instructions/index#device-compiler-toolchain-rv32imc" >}}), then you need to point `./meson_init.sh` to your custom toolchain file using `-t FILE`:
-
-```console
-./meson_init -t /path/to/toolchain/file
-```
-
-If you do not specify your own toolchain configuration file (using `./meson_init.sh -t`), and `meson_init.sh` cannot find the default configuration in your toolchain, the legacy `toolchain.txt` from the main OpenTitan repository will be used.
-If `TOOLCHAIN_PATH` is set, this will be used to update any paths within the legacy configuration.

 A program needs to be built for each until ROM functionality for code download is ready.
 
 For that purpose compile the demo program with "simulation" settings, which adjusts the frequencies to better match the simulation speed.
