Of course, also including a small GPL copyright note.

+BUILDING FIRMWARE FROM SOURCE
+=============================
+
+Building the firmware from source is possible, if you use the 
+configure option --enable-buildfw. Also, it requires the 8031/8051
+cross-assembler as31. As31 version 2.3.0 is fine for this job, but 
+every version since 2.2 should do it.
+
+As31 is available from:
+http://wiki.erazor-zone.de/doku.php?id=wiki:projects:linux:as31
+
+At the moment it's only possible to build tascam_loader.ihx from 
+source.
