-# Cartesi Machine Emulator SDK
+# This repository has been archived
 
-The Cartesi Machine Emulator SDK repository provides a structured way to build the off-chain emulator binaries. The current version builds:
-
-- The RISC-V GNU GCC toolchain
-- The Cartesi Machine Emulator
-- The testing Linux kernel
-
-For documentation on each of this artifacts please see their own repositories.
-
-## Getting Started
-
-### Requirements
-
-- Docker 18.x
-- C/C++ Compiler with support for C++17 (tested with GCC >= 8+).
-- GNU Make >= 3.81
-- Dependencies listed in the [emulator submodule](../../../machine-emulator/blob/master/README.md).
-
-### Build
-
-```bash
-$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/cartesi/machine-emulator-sdk.git
-$ make toolchain
-$ make emulator
-```
-
-If you want to build the root filesystem and the linux kernel you can type:
-
-
-```bash
-$ make tools
-$ make kernel
-```
-
-Cleaning:
-
-```bash
-$ make clean
-or
-$ make distclean
-```
-
-#### Makefile targets
-
-The following options are available to initialize and build the software artifacts:
-
-- **submodules**: initialize and update git submodules
-- **toolchain**: builds the RISC-V gnu toolchain docker image
-- **emulator**: builds the emulator (requires toolchain)
-- **tools**: builds the machine-emulator-tools and rootfs
-- **kernel**: builds the kernel image (requires toolchain)
-- **solidity-step**: builds the machine solidity step
-
-If you want to test the emulator you use:
-
-- **run-tests**: runs the emulator tests (requires emulator and tests)
-
-If you want install the SDK artifacts:
-
-- **install**: installs the SDK artifacts (requires emulator, rom, tests, fs and kernel)
-
-If you want to use the linux environments you can also use the following targets:
-
-- **toolchain-env**: enters the docker image-toolchain environment
-- **kernel-env**: enters the docker image-toolchain environment
-
-#### Makefile container options
-
-You can pass the following variables to the make target if you wish to use different docker image tags.
-
-- TOOLCHAIN\_TAG: image-toolchain image tag
-- KERNEL\_TAG: image-kernel image tag
-
-```
-$ make toolchain TOOLCHAIN_TAG=mytag
-$ make kernel TOOLCHAIN_TAG=mytag KERNEL_TAG=mytag
-```
-
-It's also useful if you want to use pre-built images or run an specific version:
-
-```
-$ make toolchain-env TOOLCHAIN_TAG=0.1.1
-
-```
-
-OBS: Outside tagged commits the default tag is `devel`, which means you have to build the images on your machine.
-
-## Testing
-
-```
-$ make run-tests
-
-```
-
-## Installing
-
-```
-$ make install
-
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-```
-$ export PATH=/opt/cartesi/bin:$PATH
-$ cd /opt/cartesi/share/
-$ cartesi-machine
-```
