+      <p>The HiKey is a low-cost ARMv8 development board from the Linaro
+	96boards initiative.  It contains a HiSilicon Kirin 6220 with eight
+	ARMv8 cores and 1GB of ram.</p>
+
+      <p>&os; has been ported to run on the HiKey with a minimal set of
+	drivers.  As of this report, &os; supports the micro-SD slot and
+	USB host, and will boot off the SD card to multi-user mode using
+	a recent arm64 snapshot.</p>
+
+      <p>The kernel is missing a number of device drivers, however, it is at
+	a usable state for people interested in testing &os; on ARMv8
+	hardware.
