I do not know about the supported devices and such
but the distribution of pre-built images is handled
via: https://www.armbsd.org/arm/ (by Jared McNeill),
spanning both aarch64 and armv7.

NetBSD 9 lists 32 images (one being for Amazon AWS).
NetBSD-current lists 33.

In both contexts, there is a Generic 32-bit image
and a Generic 64-bit image. So 29+ SBCs each.
