+Kendryte K230 virt reference platform (``k230``)
+==========================================================================
+The ``k230`` machine is compatible with with Kendryte K230 SDK.
+
+The K230 is a chip from the AIoT SoC series made by Kendryte ® — a part of
+Canaan Inc. It uses a brand-new multi-heterogeneous unit accelerated computing
+structure.
+
+This chip has 2 RISC-V computing cores and a new-generation KPU (Knowledge
+Process Unit) smart computing unit.
+
+It has multi-precision AI computing ability, works with many common AI computing
+frameworks, and for some typical networks, its usage rate is over 70%. Besides,
+the K230 chip supports many peripheral connections and has several special
+hardware acceleration units (like 2D and 2.5D accelerators). It can speed up
+different tasks (such as image processing, video processing, audio processing
+and AI computing). It also has many good features: low delay, high performance,
+low power use and fast start-up.
+
+For more information, see <https://www.kendryte.com/en/proDetail/230>
+
+Supported devices
+-----------------
+The ``k230`` machine supports the following devices:
+
+* 1 c908 cores
+* Core Local Interruptor (CLINT)
+* Incoming MSI Controller (IMSIC)
+* 2 K230 Watchdog Timer
+* 4 UART
+
+Boot options
+------------
+The ``k230`` machine can start using the standard ``-bios``
+functionality for loading the boot image. You need to compile and link
+the firmware, kernel, and Device Tree (FDT) into a single binary file with
+K230 SDK(k230_canmv_defconfig), such as ``uboot``.
+
+Running
+-------
+Below is an example command line for running the ``k230``
+machine:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ qemu-system-riscv64 -machine k230 \
+ -bios k230_sdk/output/k230_canmv_defconfig/little/uboot/u-boot \
+ -nographic
