 ## Requirements
 
-Target only supports cross-compilation, `core` and `alloc` are supported but
-`std` is not.
-
 Builds Arm64EC static and dynamic libraries and executables which can be run on
 AArch64 Windows 11 devices. Arm64EC static libraries can also be linked into
 Arm64X dynamic libraries and executables.
 
-Uses `arm64ec` as its `target_arch` - code built for Arm64EC must be compatible
-with x86_64 code (e.g., same structure layouts, function signatures, etc.) but
-use AArch64 intrinsics.
-
-Only supported backend is LLVM 18 (or above).
+Only supported backend is LLVM 18 or above:
+* 18.1.0 added initial support for Arm64EC.
+* 18.1.2 fixed import library generation (required for `raw-dylib` support).
+* 18.1.4 fixed linking issue for some intrinsics implemented in
+  `compiler_builtins`.
+
+### Reusing code from other architectures - x86_64 or AArch64?
+
+Arm64EC uses `arm64ec` as its `target_arch`, but it is possible to reuse
+existing architecture-specific code in most cases. The best mental model for
+deciding which architecture to reuse is to is to think of Arm64EC as an x86_64
+process that happens to use the AArch64 instruction set (with some caveats) and
+has a completely custom ABI.
+
+To put this in practice:
+* Arm64EC interacts with the operating system, other processes and other DLLs as
+  x86_64.
+  - For example, [in `backtrace`](https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/commit/ef39a7d7da58b4cae8c8f3fc67a8300fd8d2d0d9)
+    we use the x86_64 versions of `CONTEXT` and `RtlVirtualUnwind`.
+  - If you are configuring a search path to find DLLs (e.g., to load plugins or
+    addons into your application), you should use the same path as the x86_64
+    version of your application, not the AArch64 path (since Arm64EC (i.e.,
+    x86_64) processes cannot load native AArch64 DLLs).
+* Arm64EC uses AArch64 intrinsics.
+  - For example, <https://github.com/rust-lang/portable-simd/commit/ca4033f49b1f6019561b8b161b4097b4a07f2e1b>
+    and <https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/commit/166ef7ba22b6a1d908d4b29a36e68ceca324808a>.
+* Assembly for AArch64 might be reusable for Arm64EC, but there are many
+  caveats. For full details see [Microsoft's documentation on the Arm64EC ABI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/arm64ec-abi)
+  but in brief:
+  - Arm64EC uses a subset of AArch64 registers.
+  - Arm64EC uses a different name mangling scheme than AArch64.
+  - Arm64EC requires entry and exit thunks be generated for some functions.
+  - Indirect calls must be done via a call checker.
+  - Control Flow Guard and stack checks use different functions than AArch64.
 
 ## Building the target
 
 You can build Rust with support for the targets by adding it to the `target`
-list in `config.toml` and disabling `std`:
+list in `config.toml`:
 
 ```toml
 [build]
 target = [ "arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc" ]
-
-[target.arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc]
-no-std = true
 ```
 
 ## Building Rust programs
 
 Rust does not yet ship pre-compiled artifacts for this target. To compile for
 this target, you will either need to build Rust with the target enabled (see
-"Building the target" above), or build your own copy of `core` by using
-`build-std` or similar.

 ## Testing
 
 Tests can be run on AArch64 Windows 11 devices.
 
-Since this is a `no_std` target, the Rust test suite is not supported.
