<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status</strong></font></h3>

<p>
The current target platforms are i.MX6 and OMAP3/4.
We try to support most of the boards based on those SoCs.
A list of supported boards is in the section <a href="#hardware">Supported hardware</a>.
There are still a fair number of things to do on each of these boards.
The platform is now self hosting, however there is no SMP support.
Networking is working on i.MX6, the PandaBoard and the BeagleBone.
