+
+## Requirements
+
+This target supports host tools, std and alloc. This target cannot be cross-compiled as for now, mainly because of the unavailability of system linker on other platforms.
+
+Binary built for this target is expected to run on Power7 or newer CPU, and AIX 7.2 or newer version.
+
+Binary format of this platform is [XCOFF](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=formats-xcoff-object-file-format). Archive file format is ['AIX big format'](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=formats-ar-file-format-big).
+
+## Testing
+
+This target supports running test suites natively, but it's not available to cross-compile and execute in emulator.
+
+## Interoperability with C code
+
+This target supports C code. C code compiled by XL, Open XL and Clang are compatible with Rust. Typical triple of AIX on 64-bit PowerPC of these compilers are also `powerpc64-ibm-aix`.
