+This is the support for the ARM Foundation v8 machine emulated by the
+ARM software simulator of the AArch64 architecture.
+
+First, one has to download the AArch64 software simulator from:
+
+  https://silver.arm.com/download/download.tm?pv=1509509
+
+Then, use the arm_foundationv8_defconfig configuration to build your
+Buildroot system.
+
+Finally, boot your system with:
+
+ ${LOCATION_OF_FOUNDATIONV8_SIMULATOR}/Foundation_v8 \
+    --image output/images/linux-system.axf \
+    --block-device output/images/rootfs.ext2 \
+    --network=nat
+
+You can get network access from within the simulated environment
+by requesting an IP address using DHCP (run the command 'udhcpc').
