 | ## About the project | 
 |  | 
 | [OpenTitan](https://opentitan.org) is an open source silicon Root of Trust | 
 | (RoT) project.  OpenTitan will make the silicon RoT design and implementation | 
 | more transparent, trustworthy, and secure for enterprises, platform providers, | 
 | and chip manufacturers.  OpenTitan is administered by [lowRISC | 
 | CIC](https://www.lowrisc.org) as a collaborative project to produce high | 
 | quality, open IP for instantiation as a full-featured product. See the | 
 | [OpenTitan site](https://opentitan.org/) and [OpenTitan | 
 | docs](https://docs.opentitan.org) for more information about the project. | 
 |  | 
 | ## About this repository | 
 |  | 
 | This repository contains hardware, software and utilities written as part of the | 
 | OpenTitan project. It is structured as monolithic repository, or "monorepo", | 
 | where all components live in one repository. It exists to enable collaboration | 
 | across partners participating in the OpenTitan project. | 
 |  | 
 | ## Documentation | 
 |  | 
 | The project contains comprehensive documentation of all IPs and tools. You can | 
 | either access it [online](https://docs.opentitan.org/) or build it | 
 | locally by following the steps below. | 
 |  | 
 | 1. Ensure that you have the required Python modules installed (to be executed | 
 | in the repository root): | 
 |  | 
 | ```command | 
 | $ sudo apt install curl python3 python3-pip | 
 | $ pip3 install --user -r python-requirements.txt | 
 | ``` | 
 |  | 
 | 2. Execute the build script: | 
 |  | 
 | ```command | 
 | $ ./util/build_docs.py --preview | 
 | ``` | 
 |  | 
 | This compiles the documentation into `./build/docs` and starts a local | 
 | server, which allows you to access the documentation at | 
 | [http://127.0.0.1:1313](http://127.0.0.1:1313). |
