 Currently, the emulator is nowhere near complete,
 its not even at rv64i, but it does work for a subset of it.

+The emulator will load a raw binary image from a file specified as a CLI argument into RAM,
+which starts at 0x80000000 and is currently 16MiB,
 and start execution at the start of the image/ram.
 
 There is also a debug out page starting at `0x00000000`-`0x00001000`.
 Anything written to it will be logged out in hex.
 
-Currently there is no input, altho i might get around to making
-an early UART kinda soon.
+There is also a UART at `0x00001000`-`0x00002000`, the interface is quite simple:
+- byte `0`: Data. When written, writes out the character
+  When read, reads a character from the buffer, or 0 if empty.
+- byte `1`: Status. Read-only. Least significant bit is `TX_READY` and indicates whether
+  the UART is ready to be written to. Currently always 1.
+  Next least significant is `RX_READY`, indicates whether the read buffer
+  has any data to read.
