+Hardware Platforms
+==================
+
+DistroKit supports a range of hardware, supported by the ptxdist
+platforms listed below. A platform can be built with one ``ptxdist
+images`` and shares the same cross compiler and binary format.
+
+
+v7a Platform
+------------
+
+The v7a platform is made for machines based on the ARMv7a architecture.
+Select the platform with
+
+::
+
+ $ ptxdist platform configs/platform-v7a/platformconfig
+ info: selected platformconfig:
+ 'configs/platform-v7a/platformconfig'
+
+To use the platform, the arm-v7a-linux-gnueabihf toolchain needs to be
+installed; if installed from the debian packages or tarballs, ptxdist
+is able to find and select the right toolchain with
+
+::
+
+ $ ptxdist toolchain
+ found and using toolchain:
+ '/opt/OSELAS.Toolchain-2016.06.1/arm-v7a-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-5.4.0-glibc-2.23-binutils-2.26-kernel-4.6-sanitized/bin'
+
+Now everything is prepared to build the platform with
+
+::
+
+ $ ptxdist images
