+This is the minimal set of source files to build the PC and the LEON version.\
 In order to do so, use BCC 4.4.2 release 1.0.51 for the LEON and gcc for the PC: 
 
+```
 > cd FwProfile
 > make
 > cd ..
 > cd CrIa
 > make ifsw-dpu
 > make ifsw-pc
+```
 
 Notes:
 - it may be necessary to create an empty build directory CrIa/build first.
 - newer versions of gcc complain about a missing cast to double in AngleMethod.c
 
-Enjoy,
