 Generators
 ============================

+A Generator can be thought of as a generalized RTL design, written using a mix of meta-programming and standard RTL.
 This type of meta-programming is enabled by the Chisel hardware description language (see :ref:`Chisel`).
 A standard RTL design is essentially just a single instance of a design coming from a generator.
 However, by using meta-programming and parameter systems, generators can allow for integration of complex hardware designs in automated ways.
 The following pages introduce the generators integrated with the Chipyard framework.
 
+Chipyard bundles the source code for the generators, under the ``generators`` directory.
+It builds them from source each time (although the build system will cache results if they have not changed),
+so changes to the generators themselves will automatically be used when building with Chipyard and propagate to software simulation, FPGA-accelerated simulation, and VLSI flows.
