Follow the instructions at https://edk2.tianocore.org/servlets/ProjectSource to\r
The EdkNt32Pkg has a special target; "run" that will execute the Nt32 emulation\r
platform under Microsoft Windows.\r
\r
+To exit the Nt32 emulation platform, you may type reset at the EFI Shell>\r
+command prompt. Alternately, you may use the Graphical interface, Boot\r
+Maintenance Manager screen's Reset System command.\r

A Word on GCC tool chain\r
------------------------\r
-You will find a script in the tree that will download, configure, compile, and\r
-install a gcc 4.0.2 tool chain for development. It has support for the ia32\r
-architecture. It can be built and run on Cygwin, Linux, and many other POSIX\r
-compliant host environments. There are a few tools that you will need on your\r
-host computer in order to compile the tool chain. Among them are bash, gcc,\r
-gmake, curl (or wget).\r
+EDK2 will not compile with a standard Linux gcc tool chain. While Linux\r
+distributions are usually based on ELF, EDK2 requires a version of gcc that is\r
+configured to produce PE-COFF images. You will find a script in edk2/Tools/gcc\r
+that will download, configure, compile, and install a gcc 4.X cross-compile\r
+tool chain for EDK2 development. It has support for the ia32 architecture. It\r
+can be built and run on Cygwin, Linux, and many other POSIX compliant host\r
+operating environments. There are a few tools that you will need on your host\r
+computer in order to compile the tool chain. Among them are bash, gcc, gmake,\r
+curl (or wget).\r
