| Dropped Platforms |
| ----------------- |
| |
| Support for Power7 based systems was removed in `v6.3-191-g16b7ae641037`. |
| Power7 hardware was supported largely because it was the initial bringup |
| platform for Skiboot. Once P8 hardware became available almost all |
| development (and testing) on P7 ceased. Anyone interested in using OPAL on |
| a P7 should look at one of the early `v5.x` releases. |
