+# `armv8r-none-eabihf`
+
+**Tier: 3**
+
+Bare-metal target for CPUs in the ARMv8-R architecture family, supporting
+dual ARM/Thumb mode, with ARM mode as the default.
+
+Processors in this family include the Arm [Cortex-R52][cortex-r52]
+and [Cortex-R52+][cortex-r52-plus].
+
+See [`arm-none-eabi`](arm-none-eabi.md) for information applicable to all
+`arm-none-eabi` targets.
+
+[cortex-r52]: https://www.arm.com/products/silicon-ip-cpu/cortex-r/cortex-r52

+
+## Requirements
+
+The Cortex-R52 family always includes a floating-point unit, so there is no
+non-`hf` version of this target. The floating-point features assumed by this
+target are those of the single-precision-only config of the Cortex-R52, which
+has 16 double-precision registers, accessible as 32 single-precision registers.
+The other variant of Cortex-R52 includes double-precision, 32 double-precision
+registers, and Advanced SIMD (Neon).
+
+The manual refers to this as the "Full Advanced SIMD config". To compile code
+for this variant, use: `-C target-feature=+fp64,+d32,+neon`. See the [Advanced
+SIMD and floating-point support][fpu] section of the Cortex-R52 Processor
+Technical Reference Manual for more details.
+
+[fpu]: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100026/0104/Advanced-SIMD-and-floating-point-support/About-the-Advanced-SIMD-and-floating-point-support
+
+## Cross-compilation toolchains and C code
+
+This target supports C code compiled with the `arm-none-eabi` target triple and
+`-march=armv8-r` or a suitable `-mcpu` flag.
