+# ASIC timelord user guide
+
+## Initial setup
+
+Download and unpack LibFT4222 library:
+```bash
+# in chiavdf directory
+wget https://ftdichip.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/libft4222-linux-1.4.4.170.tgz
+mkdir src/hw/libft4222
+tar -C src/hw/libft4222 -xf libft4222-linux-1.4.4.170.tgz
+ln -s libft4222.so.1.4.4.170 src/hw/libft4222/build-x86_64/libft4222.so
+```
+
+Build binaries:
+```bash
+cd src
+make -f Makefile.vdf-client emu_hw_test hw_test emu_hw_vdf_client hw_vdf_client
+```
+
+Connect the Chia VDF ASIC device and verify that it is detected:
+```bash
+# in chiavdf/src/ directory
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH=hw/libft4222/build-x86_64 ./hw_vdf_client --list
+```
+
+If the device is shown in the list, check if it's working:
+```bash
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH=hw/libft4222/build-x86_64 ./hw_test
+```
+
+Output should contain lines similar to the following:
+```
+VDF 0: 1000000 HW iters done in 2s, HW speed: 714720 ips
+```
+
+## Running
+
+You should have a Chia full node running and synced.
+
+Start timelord (but not timelord-launcher) in chia-blockchain:
+```bash
+chia start timelord-only
+```
+
+Start hardware VDF client (`8000` specifies timelord's port number):
+```bash
+# in chiavdf/src/ directory
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH=hw/libft4222/build-x86_64 ./hw_vdf_client 8000
+```
+
+The VDF client accepts a number of options:
+```
+Usage: ./hw_vdf_client [OPTIONS] PORT [N_VDFS]
+List of options [default, min - max]:
+  --freq N - set ASIC frequency [1100, 200 - 2200]
+  --voltage N - set board voltage [0.88, 0.7 - 1.0]
+  --ip A.B.C.D - timelord IP address [localhost]
+        Allows connecting to a timelord running on a remote host. Useful when running multiple machines with VDF hardware connecting to a single timelord.
+  --vdfs-mask N - mask for enabling VDF engines [7, 1 - 7]
+        The ASIC has 3 VDF engines numbered 0, 1, 2. If not running all 3 engines, the mask can be specified to enable specific engines. It must be the result of bitwise OR of the engine bits (1, 2, 4 for engines 0, 1, 2).
+  --vdf-threads N - number of software threads per VDF engine [4, 2 - 64]
+        Number of software threads computing intermediate values and proofs per VDF engine.
+  --proof-threads N - number of proof threads per VDF engine
+        Number of software threads only computing proofs per VDF engine. Must be less than --vdf-threads.
+  --auto-freq-period N - auto-adjust frequency every N seconds [0, 10 - inf]
+  --list - list available devices and exit
+```
+
+## Shutting down
+
+Stop timelord:
+```bash
+chia stop timelord-only
+```
+
+Stop the VDF client by pressing Control-C or killing the process with `SIGTERM`.
