+DesignWare RISC-V nSIM and HAPS FPGA boards
+###########################################
+
+Overview
+********
+
+This platform can be used to run Zephyr RTOS on the widest possible range of Synopsys RISC-V processors in
+simulation with `Designware ARC nSIM`_ or run same images on FPGA prototyping platform `HAPS`_. The
+platform includes the following features:
+
+* RISC-V processor core, which implements riscv32 ISA
+* Virtual serial console (a standard ``ns16550`` UART model)
+
+There are multiple supported board targets for that platform. Some but not all of currently
+available targets are listed below:
+
+* ``nsim_arc_v/rmx500`` - Synopsys RISC-V RMX500 core
+
+.. _board_nsim_arc_v_prop_files:
+
+It is recommended to look at precise description of a particular board target in ``.props``
+files in :zephyr_file:`boards/snps/nsim_arc_v/support/` directory to understand
+which options are configured and so will be used on invocation of the simulator.
+
+.. warning::
+   All nSIM targets are used for demo and testing purposes. They are not meant to
+   represent any real system and so might be renamed, removed or modified at any point.
+
+Programming and Debugging
+*************************
+
+Required Hardware and Software
+==============================
+
+To run single-core Zephyr RTOS applications in simulation on this board,
+either `DesignWare ARC nSIM`_ or `DesignWare ARC Free nSIM`_ is required.
+
+Building & Running Sample Applications
+======================================
+
+Most board targets support building with both GNU and ARC MWDT toolchains, however
+there might be exceptions from that, especially for newly added targets. You can check supported
+toolchains for the board targets in the corresponding ``.yaml`` file.
+
+I.e. for the ``nsim_arc_v/rmx500`` board we can check :zephyr_file:`boards/snps/nsim_arc_v/nsim_arc_v_rmx500.yaml`
+
+The supported toolchains are listed in ``toolchain:`` array in ``.yaml`` file, where we can find:
+
+* **zephyr** - implies RISC-V GNU toolchain from Zephyr SDK. You can find more information about
+  Zephyr SDK :ref:`here <toolchain_zephyr_sdk>`.
+* **cross-compile** - implies RISC-V GNU cross toolchain, which is not a part of Zephyr SDK. Note that
+  some (especially new) board targets may declare ``cross-compile`` toolchain support without
+  ``zephyr`` toolchain support because corresponding target CPU support hasn't been added to Zephyr
+  SDK yet. You can find more information about its usage here: :ref:`here <other_x_compilers>`.
+* **arcmwdt** - implies proprietary ARC MWDT toolchain. You can find more information about its
+  usage here: :ref:`here <toolchain_designware_arc_mwdt>`.
+
+.. note::
+   Note that even if both GNU and MWDT toolchain support is declared for the target some tests or
+   samples can be only built with either GNU or MWDT toolchain due to some features limited to a
+   particular toolchain.
+
+Use this configuration to run basic Zephyr applications and kernel tests in
+nSIM, for example, with the :zephyr:code-sample:`synchronization` sample:
+
+.. zephyr-app-commands::
+   :zephyr-app: samples/synchronization
+   :host-os: unix
+   :board: nsim_arc_v/rmx500
+   :goals: flash
+
+This will build an image with the synchronization sample app, boot it using
+nSIM, and display the following console output:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+      *** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v3.2.0-3948-gd351a024dc87 ***
+      thread_a: Hello World from cpu 0 on nsim_arc_v!
+      thread_b: Hello World from cpu 0 on nsim_arc_v!
+      thread_a: Hello World from cpu 0 on nsim_arc_v!
+      thread_b: Hello World from cpu 0 on nsim_arc_v!
+      thread_a: Hello World from cpu 0 on nsim_arc_v!
+
+
+.. note::
+   To exit the simulator, use :kbd:`Ctrl+]`, then :kbd:`Ctrl+c`
+
+.. _board_nsim_arc_v_verbose_build:
+
+.. tip::
+   You can get more details about the building process by running build in verbose mode. It can be
+   done by passing ``-v`` flag to the west: ``west -v build -b nsim_hs samples/synchronization``
+
+Debugging
+=========
+
+.. _board_nsim_arc_v_debugging_gdb:
+
+Debugging with GDB
+------------------
+
+.. note::
+   Debugging on nSIM via GDB is only supported on single-core targets (which use standalone
+   nSIM).
+
+.. note::
+   The normal ``west debug`` command won't work for debugging applications using nsim boards
+   because both the nSIM simulator and the debugger use the same console for
+   input / output.
+   In case of GDB debugger it's possible to use a separate terminal windows for GDB and nSIM to
+   avoid intermixing their output.
+
+After building your application, open two terminal windows. In terminal one, use nSIM to start a GDB
+server and wait for a remote connection with following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   west debugserver --runner arc-nsim
+
+In terminal two, connect to the GDB server using RISC-V GDB. You can find it in Zephyr SDK:
+
+* you should use :file:`riscv64-zephyr-elf-gdb`
+
+This command loads the symbol table from the elf binary file, for example the
+:file:`build/zephyr/zephyr.elf` file:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   riscv64-zephyr-elf-gdb  -ex 'target remote localhost:3333' -ex load build/zephyr/zephyr.elf
+
+Now the debug environment has been set up, and it's possible to debug the application with gdb
+commands.
+
+Modifying the configuration
+***************************
+
+If modification of existing nsim configuration is required or even there's a need in creation of a
+new one it's required to maintain alignment between
+
+* Zephyr OS configuration
+* nSIM & MDB configuration
+* GNU & MWDT toolchain compiler options
+
+.. note::
+   The ``.tcf`` configuration files are not supported by Zephyr directly. There are multiple
+   reasons for that. ``.tcf`` perfectly suits building of bare-metal single-thread application -
+   in that case all the compiler options from ``.tcf`` are passed to the compiler, so all the HW
+   features are used by the application and optimal code is being generated.
+   The situation is completely different when multi-thread feature-rich operation system is
+   considered. Of course it is still possible to build all the code with all the
+   options from ``.tcf`` - but that may be far from optimal solution. For example, such approach
+   require so save & restore full register context for all tasks (and sometimes even for
+   interrupts). And for DSP-enabled or for FPU-enabled systems that leads to dozens of extra
+   registers save and restore even if the most of the user and kernel tasks don't actually use
+   DSP or FPU. Instead we prefer to fine-tune the HW features usage which (with all its pros)
+   require us to maintain them separately from ``.tcf`` configuration.
+
+
+Zephyr OS configuration
+=======================
+
+Zephyr OS configuration is defined via Kconfig and Device tree. These are non RISC-V-specific
+mechanisms which are described in :ref:`board porting guide <board_porting_guide>`.
+
+It is advised to look for ``<board_name>_defconfig``, ``<board_name>.dts`` and
+``<board_name>.yaml`` as an entry point for board target.
+
+nSIM configuration
+==================
+
+nSIM configuration is defined in :ref:`props and args files <board_nsim_arc_v_prop_files>`.
+Generally they are identical to the values from corresponding ``.tcf`` configuration with few
+exceptions:
+
+* The UART model is added
+* CLINT model is added
+
+GNU & MWDT toolchain compiler options
+=====================================
+
+The hardware-specific compiler options are set in corresponding SoC cmake file. For ``nsim_arc_v`` board
+it is :zephyr_file:`soc/snps/nsim_arc_v/CMakeLists.txt`.
+
+For the GNU toolchain the basic configuration is set via ``-mcpu`` which is defined in generic code
+and based on the selected CPU model via Kconfig. It still can be forcefully set to required value
+on SoC level.
+
+.. note::
+   The non hardware-specific compiler options like optimizations, library selections, C / C++
+   language options are still set in Zephyr generic code. It could be observed by
+   :ref:`running build in verbose mode <board_nsim_arc_v_verbose_build>`.
