-1. Run `autogen.sh`
+1. Create directory in checked out repo for build files:
+```
+mkdir build && cd build
+```
+
+2. Run configuration for your toolchain:
+
+Baytrail:
+
+```
+cmake -DTOOLCHAIN=xtensa-byt-elf -DROOT_DIR=`pwd`/../../xtensa-root/xtensa-byt-elf ..
+```
+
+Cherrytrail:
+
+```
+cmake -DTOOLCHAIN=xtensa-cht-elf -DROOT_DIR=`pwd`/../../xtensa-root/xtensa-cht-elf ..
+```
+
+Haswell / Broadwell:
+
+```
+cmake -DTOOLCHAIN=xtensa-hsw-elf -DROOT_DIR=`pwd`/../../xtensa-root/xtensa-hsw-elf ..
+```
+
+Apollolake:
+
+```
+cmake -DTOOLCHAIN=xtensa-apl-elf -DROOT_DIR=`pwd`/../../xtensa-root/xtensa-apl-elf ..
+```
+
+Cannonlake:
+
+```
+cmake -DTOOLCHAIN=xtensa-cnl-elf -DROOT_DIR=`pwd`/../../xtensa-root/xtensa-cnl-elf ..
+```
+
+3. Apply default config for your platform.
 
-2. Build and install the rimage ELF image creator and signing tool
+Baytrail:
 
 ```
-./configure --enable-rimage
-make
-sudo make install
+make baytrail_defconfig
 ```
 
-3. Run the following configure based on your platform.
+Cherrytrail:
 
-Baytrail :-
+```
+make cherrytrail_defconfig
+```
 
-```./configure --with-arch=xtensa --with-platform=baytrail --with-root-dir=$PWD/../xtensa-root/xtensa-byt-elf --host=xtensa-byt-elf```
+Haswell:
 
-Cherrytrail :-
+```
+make haswell_defconfig
+```
 
-```./configure --with-arch=xtensa --with-platform=cherrytrail --with-root-dir=$PWD/../xtensa-root/xtensa-byt-elf --host=xtensa-byt-elf```
+Broadwell:
 
-Library for Host Platform :-
-If building library for host platform, run the following configure. Please modify
-the --prefix option to choose the directory for installing the library files and
-headers
+```
+make broadwell_defconfig
+```
 
-`./configure --with-arch=host --enable-library=yes --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --prefix=$PWD/../host-root/`
+Apollolake:
 
-4. `make`
+```
+make apollolake_defconfig
+```
 
-5. `make bin`
+Cannonlake:
 
-End with an example of getting some data out of the system or using it for a little demo
+```
+make cannonlake_defconfig
+```
+
+4. (Optional) Customize your configuration
+
+```
+make menuconfig
+```
+
+5. Build firmware
+
+```
+make bin
+# or `make bin -j<jobs>` for parallel build
+```
