-Enabling Out-of-Context synthesis
+Available build flags and parameters
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
+Below are some of the available parameters and system variables that can be used
+when building a project:
+
+- **ADI_EXTRACT_PORTS**: if set, extracts port properties from a predefined list
+  of IPs into 'ports_properties.txt'.
+- **ADI_GENERATE_BIN**: if set, generates a binary bitstream file (.bin)
+  in addition to the .xsa hardware platform.
+- **ADI_GENERATE_UTILIZATION**: if set, generates CSV and log files detailing
+  resource utilization for the design and specific IPs.
+- **ADI_GENERATE_XPA**: if set, runs a Xilinx Power Analysis (XPA) and generates
+  a summary report.
+- **ADI_MAX_OOC_JOBS**: specifies the number of parallel jobs to use for
+  Out-of-Context (OOC) synthesis.
+- **ADI_MAX_THREADS**: specifies the maximum number of threads for Vivado
+  operations. Default value is 8.
+- **ADI_NO_BITSTREAM_COMPRESSION**: if set, disables compression of the final
+  bitstream file.
+- **ADI_POST_ROUTE_SCRIPT**: specifies the path to a Tcl script to be executed
+  after the routing design step.
+- **ADI_POWER_OPTIMIZATION**: if set to 1, enables power optimization during the
+  implementation run.
+- **ADI_PROJECT_DIR**: specifies a base directory for output files such as logs
+  and reports.
+- **ADI_SKIP_SYNTHESIS**: if set, the entire procedure will exit before starting
+  synthesis.
+- **ADI_USE_OOC_SYNTHESIS**: if set to 1, launches synthesis for OOC IP modules
+  in parallel.
+
 You can opt in for out-of-context synthesis during the build by defining
 the ``ADI_USE_OOC_SYNTHESIS`` system variable. By setting the
 ``ADI_MAX_OOC_JOBS`` system variable you can adjust the number of
