+This Malta target is intended to be used with the Qemu emulator. It can be used
+to prototype an OpenWrt firmware for MIPS processors. One could also use it to
+troubleshoot MIPS applications without access to real hardware.
+
+To use the images built by OpenWrt with qemu, use the following commands:
+
+For the little-endian image:
+qemu-system-mipsel -kernel bin/malta/openwrt-malta-le-vmlinux.elf -nographic -m 256
+
+For the big-endian image:
+qemu-system-mips -kernel bin/malta/openwrt-malta-be-vmlinux.elf -nographic -m 256
+
+and enjoy the system bootin.
