-Cross-compiled builds are available for ARMv6 (`armv6l-linux`) and ARMv7 (`armv7l-linux`).
-Add more [system types](#system-type) to `crossSystems` in `flake.nix` to bootstrap Nix on unsupported platforms.
+### Cross compiling using the Lix flake
+
+Lix can also be easily cross compiled to the following arbitrarily-chosen system doubles, which can be useful for bootstrapping Lix on new platforms.
+These are specified in `crossSystems` in `flake.nix`; feel free to submit changes to add new ones if they are useful to you.
+
+- `armv6l-linux`
+- `armv7l-linux`
+- `riscv64-linux`
+
+For example, to cross-compile Lix for `armv6l-linux` from another Linux, use the following:
+
+```console
+$ nix build .#nix-armv6l-linux
+```
+
+It's also possible to cross-compile a tarball of binaries suitable for the Lix installer, for example, for `riscv64-linux`:
+
+```console
+$ nix build .#nix-riscv64-linux.passthru.binaryTarball
+```
