+# aarch64_be-unknown-linux-musl
+
+**Tier: 3**
+
+ARM64 Linux (big-endian) with musl-libc.
+
+## Target maintainers
+
+[@neuschaefer](https://github.com/neuschaefer)
+[@Gelbpunkt](https://github.com/Gelbpunkt)
+
+## Requirements
+
+The target requires a `aarch64_be-*-linux-musl` toolchain, which likely has to
+be built from source because this is a rare combination.  [Buildroot] provides
+a way of doing so:
+
+- select _Target options_ → _Target Architecture_ → _AArch64 (big endian)_
+- select _Toolchain_ → _C library_ → _musl_
+- select _Toolchain_ → _Enable C++ support_
+
+Host tools are supported.
+
+[Buildroot]: https://buildroot.org/
+
+
+## Building the target
+
+The target can be enabled in bootstrap.toml:
+
+```toml
+[build]
+target = ["aarch64_be-unknown-linux-musl"]
+
+[target.aarch64_be-unknown-linux-musl]
+cc          = "/path/to/buildroot/host/bin/aarch64_be-buildroot-linux-musl-cc"
+cxx         = "/path/to/buildroot/host/bin/aarch64_be-buildroot-linux-musl-c++"
+linker      = "/path/to/buildroot/host/bin/aarch64_be-buildroot-linux-musl-cc"
+ar          = "/path/to/buildroot/host/bin/aarch64_be-buildroot-linux-musl-ar"
+ranlib      = "/path/to/buildroot/host/bin/aarch64_be-buildroot-linux-musl-ranlib"
+musl-root   = "/path/to/buildroot/staging"
+crt-static  = "/path/to/buildroot/target"
+```
+
+
+## Testing
+
+Binaries can be run under `qemu-aarch64_be` or under a big-endian Linux kernel.
