  62 <p>The best way to get started writing applications with Freedom Metal is to use
  63 the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/sifive/freedom-e-sdk">SiFive Freedom E SDK</a> which bundles the build scripts and configuration
  64 necessary to use Freedom Metal with SiFive’s standard evaluation products.</p>
  65 <p>If you prefer working with an Integrated Development Environment (IDE),
  66 <a class="reference external" href="https://www.sifive.com/boards#software">SiFive Freedom Studio</a> comes packaged with a prebuilt toolchain and the same
  67 Freedom Metal examples from Freedom E SDK.</p>
