+# `aarch64-unknown-illumos` and `x86_64-unknown-illumos`
+
+**Tier: 3**

+including advanced system debugging, next generation filesystem, networking, and virtualization options.

+
+## Requirements
+
+The target supports host tools.
+
+The illumos target supports `std` and uses the standard ELF file format.
+
+## Building the target
+
+These targets can be built by adding `aarch64-unknown-illumos` and
+`x86_64-unknown-illumos` as targets in the rustc list.
+
+## Building Rust programs
+
+Rust ships pre-compiled artifacts for the `x86_64-unknown-netbsd` target.
+Rust does not ship pre-compiled artifacts for `aarch64-unknown-illumos`,
+it requires building the target either as shown above or using `-Zbuild-std`.
+
+## Testing
+
+Tests can be run in the same way as a regular binary.
+
+## Cross-compilation toolchains and C code
+
+The target supports C code.
