======================
To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
-work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
-are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:
+work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Our support and testing
+is currently focused around the following primary architectures and machine
+targets:
* ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
* x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
-* PowerPC (qemuppc only)
-* MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)
+* RISC-V (qemuriscv64)
Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
+
+OpenEmbedded does also have support for PowerPC (qemuppc/qemuppc64), MIPS
+(qemumips + qemumips64), qemuriscv32 and other less common targets but these
+are not as widely tested.
