+Different Product SoC Families
+------------------------------
+Currently, the |project_name| includes the following Product SoC Families:
+
+ * **i.MX Application Processors (imx)**: Regarding the `i.MX Freescale Page
+ <http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/homepage.jsp?code=IMX_HOME>`_:
+ *i.MX applications processors are multicore ARM®-based solutions for multimedia and display
+ applications with scalability, high performance, and low power capabilities.*
+
+ * **Vybrid Controller Solutions based on ARM® Cores (vybrid)**: Regarding the
+ `Vybrid Freescale Page <http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/homepage.jsp?code=VYBRID>`_:
+ *Vybrid controller solutions are built on an asymmetrical-multiprocessing
+ architecture using ARM® cores as the anchor for the platform, and are ideal
+ for many industrial applications.*
+
+ * **Layerscape Architecture (ls)**: Regarding the `Layerscape Freescale Page
+ <http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?code=QORIQ_LAYERSCAPE>`_:
+ *delivers unprecedented efficiency and scale for the smarter, more capable
+ networks of tomorrow.*
+
+Freescale groups a set of SoCs which target different markets in product
+families. Those are grouped according to their SoC features and internal hardware
+capabilities.
+
+The Yocto Project's tools have the required capabilities to differentiate the
+architectures and BSP components for the different SoC families. In this perspective,
+the |project_name| can support a wide range of architectures and product lines
+which go across several markets.
+
+For the |project_name|, the different SoCs, from all product lines manufactured by
+Freescale, can be seen as different machines, thus easing the use of same architecture
+across different markets.
