+Pre-compiled GOLANG tarballs for ARM devices.
+
+## How to create a pre-compiled GOLANG 1.4.x tarball
+Unfortunately there are no pre-compiled GOLANG tarballs for ARM officially available yet and the preferred way to build such a tarball from source isn't well documented at all.
+
+This is a simple approach to compile Go from source and package it as a tarball. This tarball
+should work like the official tarballs from the [GOLANG download page](https://golang.org/dl/).
+For the sake of simplicity this build steps are meant to be used on a freshly installed Linux
+distro on any ARM machine.
+
+Please feel free to use this build recipe and report any issues AND when you could
+successfully build Go on a new machine send us this information so we can include this machine
+to the list of supported devices!
+
+### 1. Prepare the build machine
+
+   Just install all necessary packages, for details see the official guide
+   [Installing Go from source](https://golang.org/doc/install/source).
+   At least you'll need `gcc` to compile Go 1.4.x from source.
+
+   For a [Scaleway](https://www.scaleway.com) C1 server (Ubuntu 15.04):
+   ```
+   apt-get update
+   apt-get install -y curl git gcc
+   ```
+
+### 2. Clone this repo
+```
+git clone https://github.com/hypriot/golang-armbuilds.git
+cd golang-armbuilds
+```
+
+### 3. Run the compile script
+```
+./make-tarball-1.4.x.sh
+```
+
+### 4. Use it directly or upload the created tarball to GitHub releases
+```
+go1.4.linux-armv7.tar.gz
+```
+
+# Acknowledgements
+Many thanks to the GOLANG team at Google and all maintainers and contributers.
