-### Supported Images
-
-AGL supports a variety of interfaces, each requiring unique setup configuration.
-
-#### 1. In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI)
-
-**Supported boards** :
-
-AGL Reference Boards (QEMU, RCar Gen 3 & Raspberry Pi 4)
-
-Community supported Machines (i. MX 6, i. MX 8, Snapdragon & ARC HS)
-
-* Qt Based :
-
-    * Setting up flags at `aglsetup` script :
-
-        ```sh
-        $ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -f -m $MACHINE -b build-$MACHINE agl-demo
-
-        #To enable Developer Options
-        $ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -f -m $MACHINE -b build-$MACHINE agl-demo agl-devel
-        ```
-
-    * Building target image :
-
-        ```sh
-        $ time bitbake agl-demo-platform
-        ```
-
-* HTML5 Based :
+### Supported Hardware
 
-    * Setting up flags at `aglsetup` script :
+AGL makes two types of hardware support available: Reference BSPs and Community BSPs.
 
-        ```sh
-        $ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -f -m $MACHINE -b build-$MACHINE agl-demo agl-profile-graphical-html5
+1) **Reference Boards** have Board Support Packages (BSPs) that are maintained by their sponsoring companies and are included in our Jenkins CI system. Reference BSPs have snapshot builds that are made available daily and are fully validated with test results made available for every major AGL release.
 
-        #To enable Developer Options
-        $ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -f -m $MACHINE -b build-$MACHINE agl-demo agl-profile-graphical-html5 agl-devel
-        ```
+2) **Community Boards** have BSPs that are maintained as a best effort by the AGL community based on upstream BSPs. Community Boards include some of the most-used Hobbyist boards such as older automotive boards.
 
-    * Building target image :
-
-        ```sh
-        $ time bitbake agl-demo-platform-html5
-        ```
-
-
-#### 2. Instrument Cluster
-
-**Supported boards** :
-
-AGL Reference Boards (QEMU, RCar Gen 3 & Raspberry Pi 4)
-
-* Setting up flags at `aglsetup` script :
-
-    ```sh
-    $ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -f -m $MACHINE -b build-$MACHINE agl-cluster-demo
-
-    #To enable Developer Options
-    $ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -f -m $MACHINE -b build-$MACHINE agl-cluster-demo agl-devel
-    ```
-
-* Building target image :
-
-    ```sh
-    $ time bitbake agl-cluster-demo
-    ```
-
-#### 3. Telematics
-
-Headless demo platform for low-spec boards.
-
-**Supported boards** :
-
-Community supported Machines (BeagleBone)
-
-
-* Setting up flags at `aglsetup` script :
-
-    ```sh
-    $ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -f -m $MACHINE -b build-$MACHINE agl-telematics-demo
-
-    #To enable Developer Options
-    $ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -f -m $MACHINE -b build-$MACHINE agl-telematics-demo agl-devel
-    ```
