# OpenTitan Software Build Instructions | |
All OpenTitan software is built with [Bazel](https://bazel.build/). | |
For example, to build and run the OpenTitan UART smoke test located in `sw/device/tests/` for Verilator, run | |
```console | |
cd "$REPO_TOP" | |
bazel test --test_output=streamed //sw/device/tests:uart_smoketest_sim_verilator | |
``` | |
The resulting binaries will be located under `bazel-out/`. For more information, check out [the Building Software guide](../../doc/guides/getting_started/src/build_sw.md). |
