+### Microchip EV23X71A (Laguna)
+
+The [EV23X71A][32] is Microchip's evaluation board for the LAN969x (Laguna)
+family of TSN capable switches, a single Cortex-A53 at 1 GHz next to a
+switch core with 24 x 1 GbE copper ports, 4 x 10 GbE SFP+, and a separate
+1 GbE management port.  The board has 1 GiB DDR4, 4 GiB eMMC, and 2 MiB
+QSPI NOR flash.

+
+It is the smaller sibling of the SparX-5i, handled by the same `sparx5`
+switchdev driver, so all bridging and VLAN configuration is offloaded to
+the switch core.  Infix brings its own boot chain for this board, Trusted
+Firmware and U-Boot, booting from the eMMC with the usual A/B slots.
+
+Supported:
+
+ - switch core and SerDes, all ports, with switchdev offload
+ - eMMC, I²C (including the SFP mux), SPI, and USB host
+ - watchdog, temperature sensor, status and SFP LEDs
+
+TSN queueing and HSR/PRP offload are not yet supported.  For more details,
+see the [Laguna announcement][33].

 ### Microchip SAMA7G54-EK
 
 The [SAMA7G54-EK][23] is the evaluation kit for Microchip's SAMA7G54
 SoC, an Arm Cortex-A7 processor.
 
 Support for the SAMA7G54-EK was added in Infix v26.02.
 
+### Novarq Tactical-1000
+
+The [Tactical-1000][34] is a cut-down version of the Laguna EVB in a box:
+the same 24 + 4 + 1 port layout on a LAN9696TSN, with 2 GiB DDR4 and
+eMMC.  Netboot only for now, installing to eMMC is on the way.
