+=== EmulatorPkg Overview ===
+
+EmulatorPkg provides an environment where a UEFI environment can be
+emulated under an environment where a full UEFI compatible
+environment is not possible.  (For example, running under an OS
+where an OS process hosts the UEFI emulation environment.)
+
+http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=EmulatorPkg
+
+=== Status ===
+
+* Builds and runs under a posix-like environment with X windows
+  - Linux
+  - OS X
+
+=== Future Plans ===
+
+* Win32 and Win64 support
+
+=== Build Scripts ===
+
+On systems with the bash shell you can use EmulatorPkg/build.sh to simplify
+building and running EmulatorPkg.
+
+For example, to build + run:
+$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh
+$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh run
+
+The build architecture will match your host machine's architecture.
+
+On X64 host machines, you can build + run IA32 mode as well:
+$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh -a IA32
+$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh -a IA32 run
