 Pre-release command-line tools (`nihdl`) for building customized FPGA designs
 for use with the ni/flexrio repository. They move, generate, and process the
-files needed to take a top-level HDL design through Vivado to a LabVIEW FPGA
-bitfile — and to build hybrid LabVIEW + HDL targets.
+files needed to take a top-level HDL design to a LabVIEW FPGA bitfile through
+either of two compile flows (see below).
+
+## The two compile flows
+
+`nihdl` supports two ways to turn a top-level HDL design into a LabVIEW FPGA
+bitfile. Both start by extending the board's open-source top-level HDL, and both
+run Vivado in the end — they differ in what compiles the bitfile:
+
+- **Vivado compile flow** — extend the design in HDL and compile the bitfile
+  directly in Vivado (`gen-vivado` → `compile-vivado`). The host talks to your
+  logic over registers and DMA FIFOs via the NI-RIO driver — no LabVIEW required.
+- **LabVIEW FPGA compile flow** — package your HDL as a custom LabVIEW FPGA
+  target (`gen-target` → `install-target`), then write a VI and let LabVIEW FPGA
+  compile the bitfile (it runs Vivado under the hood).
+
+In short: in the **Vivado flow** you drive Vivado; in the **LabVIEW FPGA flow**
+LabVIEW FPGA drives Vivado for you. See
+[Theory of Operation](docs/TheoryOfOperation.md) for the full story.
