+### Build DPC++ toolchain with support for Native CPU
+
+Native CPU is a cpu device which by default has no other dependency than DPC++. This device works with all cpu targets supported by the DPC++ runtime.
+Supported targets include x86, Aarch64 and riscv_64.
+
+To enable Native CPU in a DPC++ build just add `--native_cpu` to the set of flags passed to `configure.py`.
+
 ### Build DPC++ toolchain with support for ARM processors
 
 There is no continuous integration for this, and there are no guarantees for supported platforms or configurations.
