 2. Build configured IP
 If this is a fresh version of the repository, you can run:
 ```make first_time_setup```
+
 This will generate the RTL for the DMA-350 and BP301, it will also create a socrates project for the generation of the NIC400 RTL. You may see a lot of warnings during the building of the NIC400, these are expected. Once run you can check the logical/ directory of the local repository which should contain - DMA350, SMC, and nic400_expansion_subsystem
 
 If you have already run ```make first_time_setup``` or ```make make_project``` you can run:
 ```make build_ip```
 which will build all of the necessary IP.

 3. Setup environment variables
 You can run ```source set_exp_env.sh``` which will setup the relevant environment variables
 
 ## Simulation
