+Infix can run on many different types of [architectures and boards][1],
+much thanks to Linux and Buildroot.  Currently the focus is on 64-bit
+ARM devices with switching fabric supported by Linux switchdev.
 
-The [following boards][1] are fully supported:
+The following boards have been know to run Infix.  They are divided into
+three tiers to denote level of support.
 
- - Marvell CN9130 CRB (ARM)
- - Marvell EspressoBIN (ARM)
- - Microchip SparX-5i PCB135 (ARM)
- - StarFive VisionFive2 (RISC-V)
- - NanoPi R2S (ARM)
+### Tier 1
 
-An x86_64 build is also available, primarily intended for development
-and testing using [Qemu][2], but can also be used for evaluation and
-demo purposes in [GNS3][3].  For more information, see: [Infix in
-Virtual Environments][4].
+Fully supported in default builds, with images included in releases:
+
+ - [Marvell CN9130][5] CRB (ARM)
+ - Qemu[^1] (x86_64)
+
+### Tier 2
+
+Separate `defconfig`, may use custom kernel and bootloader.  May
+graduate to *Tier 1* support depending on community interest and
+participation.
+
+ - [StarFive VisionFive2][6] (RISC-V)
+ - [NanoPi R2S][7] (ARM)
+
+### Tier 3
+
+Worked at one point but needs more attention to bring on par with the
+Infix boot sequence, and testing:
+
+ - [Microchip SparX-5i][8] PCB135 (ARM)
+ - [Marvell EspressoBIN][9] (ARM)
