+@brief       Support for the Arduino Nano board
+
+## Overview
+
+The Arduino Nano is the cheapest member of the Arduino family. It is based on
+Atmel's AVR architecture and sports an ATmega328p MCU. It is like many Arduinos
+extensible by using shields.
+
+### MCU
+| MCU           | ATmega328p                                    |
+|:------------- |:--------------------------------------------- |
+| Family        | AVR/ATmega                                    |
+| Vendor        | Atmel                                         |
+| RAM           | 2 KiB                                         |
+| Flash         | 32 KiB (2 KiB reserved for the bootloader)    |
+| Frequency     | 16 MHz                                        |
+| Timers        | 3 (2x 8bit, 1x 16bit)                         |
+| ADCs          | 6 analog input pins                           |

+
+## Flashing the device
+Flashing RIOT on the Arduino Nano is quite straight forward, just connect your
+Arduino Nano via the USB connector to your host computer and type:
+
+`make BOARD=arduino-nano flash`
+
+This should take care of everything!
+
+We use the open `avrdude` tool to write the new code into the ATmega328p's
+flash
+
+##Caution
+Don't expect having a working network stack due to very limited resources.
