 ## 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.
+Starting with Rust 1.62, precompiled artifacts are provided via `rustup`:

+```text
+# install cross-compile toolchain
+rustup target add x86_64-unknown-none
+# target flag may be used with any cargo or rustc command
+cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-none

 As `x86_64-unknown-none` supports a variety of different environments and does
-not support `std`, this target does not support running the Rust testsuite.
