+Hypervisor Pre-Build Check Tool
+###############################
+
+There are a number of configuration elements for the ACRN hypervisor that must
+defined before building the binaries. Those configuration elements are set
+by the user using the :ref:`ACRN Configurator tool <acrn_configuration_tool>`.
+
+
+This folder holds the source to a tool that is used to ensure that the
+configuration is coherent and valid. It is a tool used in the background by
+the build system before compiling the hypervisor and other components. It is
+not meant to be used as a stand-alone too.
