 This is a Mongoose "Hello, world" that can be compiled under nRF51 IoT SDK.
 
 To make it work, you should download [nRF51 IoT SDK](http://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Bluetooth-low-energy/nRF51-IoT-SDK)
-and unpack it in the current directory as `nrf51_iot_sdk`.
+and unpack it in the current directory as `nrf51_iot_sdk` (so that
+`nrf51_iot_sdk` contains `components`, `external`, etc).
+
+In order to build it with the provided Makefile and ARM GCC, you also need to
+edit the file `nrf51_iot_sdk/components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.posix` (or
+`Makefile.windows` if you use Windows) : adjust arm-none-eabi path and version
+accordingly to your installation.
 
 The project structure replicates that of the examples provided with the SDK:
 Keil uVision project is located at `boards/pca10028/arm5_no_packs`, ARM-GCC
 Makefile is located in `boards/pca10028/armgcc`..
+
+E.g. in order to build it with ARM GCC, navigate to
+`http/boards/pca10028/armgcc` and type `make`. In order to flash: `make flash`.
