    ......@@ -4,35 +4,27 @@ This page shows how to get started with the ExpressMIMO2 family of cards.
    ## Prerequisites
    Before compiling you need to set `OPENAIRx_DIR` to the root directory
    of `openairx`, see the file `oaienv` in the top director of OAI or do something like:
    Before everything else, you should check that Linux has properly identified the card by typing:
    Set `OPENAIR_HOME` variable and export the following:
    ```shell lspci```
    ```shell
    export OPENAIR1_DIR=$OPENAIR_HOME/openair1
    export OPENAIR2_DIR=$OPENAIR_HOME/openair2
    export OPENAIR3_DIR=$OPENAIR_HOME/openair3
    export OPENAIR_TARGETS=$OPENAIR_HOME/targets/
    ```
    You should see something like:
    Also, you should check that Linux has properly identified the card by doing:
    `01:00.0 Signal processing controller: Xilinx Corporation Default PCIe endpoint ID`
    ```shell
    lspci
    ```
    If not, please check that you have inserted the card correctly in a PIC gen2 slot; that the two orange LEDs on the card are on; and that the green LEDs are "dancing".
    You should see something like:
    ## Compilation
    `01:00.0 Signal processing controller: Xilinx Corporation Default PCIe endpoint ID`
    All necessary utilities (kernel module, updatefw tool) are compiled automatically using the build script, as long as you specify the hardware using the -w EXMIMO option. The build script should also place the script `init_exmimo2.sh` which loads the driver and initializes the firmware into the directory targets/bin
    ## Usage
    ## Scripts
    To initialize the card just run `init_exmimo2.sh` from targets/bin. Use `dmesg` to check that the card is operational. You should see the message
    Everything can also be compiled comfortably from the directory `$OPENAIR_TARGETS/RT/USER`
    using `make drivers`. There is a script `init_exmimo2.sh` which loads the driver and
    initializes the firmware after auto-detecting the version of the card.
    `[LEON card0]: ready`.
    ## To compile Openair kernel modules yourself
    ## To compile Openair kernel modules manually (for information only)
    To operate the ExpressMIMO2 cards, you need one hardware driver (linux kernel module).
    This driver is located in `$OPENAIR_TARGETS/ARCH/EXMIMO/DRIVER/eurecom`. RTAI is no
