+
+**Note for Arch Linux users**: The build system generates `.tar.gz` packages which are repackaged into proper Arch packages (`.pkg.tar.zst`) using the provided PKGBUILDs:
+- XRT packages: `xrt/build/arch/` (PKGBUILD-xrt-base, PKGBUILD-xrt-npu)
+- XDNA driver: `build/` directory (PKGBUILD-xrt-plugin)
+
+This ensures proper integration with pacman for installation, upgrades, and removal.
+
+You will find `xrt_plugin\*-amdxdna.deb` (Ubuntu/Debian) or `xrt_plugin*.tar.gz` (Arch Linux) in Release/ folder. This package includes:
 * The `.so` library files, which will be installed into `/opt/xilinx/xrt/lib` folder
 * The XDNA driver and DKMS script, which build, install and load
   `amdxdna.ko` driver when installing the .DEB package on target machine
