+How to build it
+===============
+
+Configure build for the selected nSIM target. For instance, for
+ARC700 nSIM target use the following defauilt configuration:
+$ make snps_arc700_nsim_defconfig
+
+Optionally modify the configuration:
+$ make menuconfig
+
+Build:
+$ make
+
+How to use it
+=============
+
+Resulting image can be booted using ARC nSIM instruction set simulator.
+Free version of nSIM is available for download:
+- https://www.synopsys.com/cgi-bin/dwarcnsim/req1.cgi
+It provides nsimdrv binary for Linux that can be used stand-alone
+or with GDB.
+
+To run ARC700 image use the following command:
+$ nsimdrv \
+	-prop=nsim_mem-dev=uart0,kind=dwuart,base=0xf0000000,irq=24 \
+	-prop=icache=32768,64,2,0 \
