+=== System-on-Chip driver enablement
+
+{productnameshort} {this-version} includes driver enablement for the following
+System-on-Chip (SoC) chipsets:
+
+// * {amdreg} {opteronreg} A1100
+* {amperereg} {xgenereg}, {emagreg}, {altrareg}, _{altramax}_, {ampereonereg}
+* {awsreg} Graviton, Graviton2, Graviton3
+* {brcmreg} BCM2837/BCM2710, BCM2711
+* {fujitsureg} A64FX
+* {huaweireg} {kunpengreg} 916, {kunpeng} 920
+* {marvellreg} {thunderxreg}, {thunderx2reg}; {octeon-txreg}; {armadareg} 7040, {armada} 8040
+* {nvidiareg} {grace}; {tegrareg}{nbsp}X1, Tegra{nbsp}X2, {xavierreg}, {orin}; {bluefieldreg}, _{bluefield2}_
+// jsc#SLE-12251 (LS1012A), jsc#SLE-11914 (i.MX 8MM)
+* {nxpreg} {imx} 8M, 8M{nbsp}Mini; {layerscapereg} LS1012A, LS1027A/LS1017A, LS1028A/LS1018A, LS1043A, LS1046A, LS1088A, LS2080A/LS2040A, LS2088A, LX2160A
+// * {qcomreg} {centriqreg} 2400
+* Rockchip RK3399
+* {socionextreg} {synquacerreg} SC2A11
+* {xilinxreg} {zynqreg} {ultrascalereg}{nbzwsp}+ MPSoC
+
+NOTE: Driver enablement is done as far as available and requested.
+Refer to the following sections for any known limitations.
+
+Some systems might need additional drivers for external chips, such as a
+Power Management Integrated Chip (PMIC), which may differ between systems
+with the same SoC chipset.
+
+For booting, systems need to fulfill either the Server Base Boot Requirements (SBBR)
+or the Embedded Base Boot Requirements (EBBR),
+that is, the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) either
+implementing the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) or
+providing a Flat Device Tree (FDT) table. If both are implemented, the kernel
+will default to the Device Tree; the kernel command line argument `acpi=force` can
+override this default behavior.
+
+Check for {suse} _YES!_ certified systems,
+which have undergone compatibility testing.

+=== {nvidiaorin} minimum firmware requirements
+
+// SLES 15 SP5 -> SLEM 5.5
+{productnameshort} {previous-version} added initial enablement for the
+{nvidiaorinreg} SoC (T234), which is found on {jetsonreg} AGX{nbsp}{orin},
+{jetson} {orin}{nbsp}NX and {jetson} {orin}{nbsp}Nano System-on-Modules (SoM)
+as well as {nvidia} IGX{nbsp}Orin based systems.
+
+{nvidia} {jetpackreg} 6.0 boot firmware and Linux kernel 6.5
+changed the Application Binary Interface (ABI)
+for numbering General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins --
+specifically the main GPIO ports X, Y, Z, AC, AD, AE, AF and AG --
+referenced in the machine-specific vendor Device Tree (DT) binary
+for {nvidiaorin} based systems.
+// https://github.com/SUSE/kernel-source/commit/d4ea3ee04f6c78a840bca4e8a8c5d5946581aa91
+// https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=12382ad05110b569d95d29c637e16bbeb115acca
+
+{productnameshort} {this-version} adopts the behavior of the latest kernels
+and requires {nvidia} {jetpack} 6.0 or later boot firmware to be flashed
+on any {nvidiaorin} based platforms.
+
+Refer to your system vendor's documentation for how to enter Recovery Mode and
+to flash the boot firmware.
+For example: `sudo ./flash.sh _device-identifier-and-boot-medium_ external`
