| :important note: The default CHIP kernel does not enable the USB Video Class (UVC) driver. In the future we hope to provide a ready-to-use emmc image with this driver included, but for now you'll have to rebuild the kernel with the UVC driver included. This is a more advanced task. Your best bet is `this tutorial <http://www.raspibo.org/wiki/index.php/Compile_the_Linux_kernel_for_Chip:_my_personal_HOWTO>`_. If you're not up for this, don't worry -- just stay tuned for an update to this page telling you where you can get a ready-to-use emmc image. |

I think you need the https:// here for the link to work correctly for rovercode.com.

Here is my first pass at instructions for building a rover.
Some things are not described in detail enough for a novice to succeed (e.g. rebuilding the kernel with the UVC driver). Hopefully, those steps will be circumvented in the future, so I didn't put a ton of effort into their instructions.
Let me know if you do see any major gaps, though!
