+Nordic nRF boards (``microbit``)
+================================
+
+The `Nordic nRF`_ chips are a family of ARM-based System-on-Chip that
+are designed to be used for low-power and short-range wireless solutions.
+
+.. _Nordic nRF: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products
+
+The nRF51 series is the first series for short range wireless applications.
+It is superseded by the nRF51 series.
+The following machines are based on this chip :
+
+- ``microbit`` BBC micro:bit board with nRF51822 SoC
+
+There are other series such as nRF52, nRF53 and nRF91 which are currently not
+supported by QEMU.
+
+Supported devices
+-----------------
+
+ * ARM Cortex-M0 (ARMv6-M)
+ * Serial ports (UART)
+ * Clock controller
+ * Timers
+ * Random Number Generator (RNG)
+ * GPIO controller
+ * NVMC
+ * SWI
+
+Missing devices
+---------------
+
+ * Watchdog
+ * Real-Time Clock (RTC) controller
+ * TWI (i2c)
+ * SPI controller
+ * Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)
+ * Quadrature decoder
+ * Radio
+
+Boot options
+------------
+
+The Micro:bit machine can be started using the ``-device`` option to load a
+firmware in hexadecimal format. Example:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ qemu-system-arm -M microbit -device loader,file=test.hex
