We currently support 5 core SoCs (Systems on a Chip). They are the OMAP family by Texas Instruments and include OMAP3 and OMAP4 devices with the beagle board and panda board platforms being tested. The second is nVidia tegra2 platforms tested on the Trimslice device. Third is Calxeda EnergyChip ECX1000 and that's primarily a server platform. The final one is the ARM Versatile Express PoC platform and it's primarily the for qemu virtualisation support. We also support kirkwood with some of the plug computers > Perhaps pointers to more generic descriptions of the CPU capabilities and the > nomenclature used in the list (and kernel?).

The Cortex-A8 was the first of the ARMv7 devices. Followed by the A9. The rest are of similar age and is basically low - high. The article on ARM processors on wikipedia is good.
