There is a difference between supported target architectures, and supported
target machines; it's easier to talk about the latter.

Oe-core layer directly supports QEMU targets (which are *not* suitable for
any physical HW):
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/machine

Poky distro additionally supports beaglebone, edgerouter and 'generic' x86
(which basically works but is far inferior to meta-intel support):
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine
The autobuilder checks that they build, but does not check that they work
on actual HW.

On the Yocto project Autobuilder additionally machines defined by
meta-intel are tested, again without booting on real HW:
https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/meta-intel/tree/conf/machine

Everything else is provided by 3rd party vendor or community layers, with
*wildly* varying levels of quality and support.
