Most ports run on generic hardware and emulators, although some commercial hardware also exists. The NetBSD Ports History page details the inclusion date for each port. Ports are classified into three 'tiers' based on the current importance of the architecture and the level of community activity. Summarizing, the tiers can be viewed to represent ports that NetBSD will support, ports that NetBSD does its best to support, and ports which may be desupported soon. The tier for each port may change over time and is decided by based on input from users and developers. -##Tier I: Focus -- support is part of NetBSD's strategy +#Tier I: Focus -- support is part of NetBSD's strategy Focus ports are the architectures that NetBSD targets as part of its strategy.
