Can you elaborate? Although haven't tried it myself, I was under the impression that it's quite possible to write low level code for at least for x86 and ARM (and AVR?).
You can write low level code. Tier 1 platform list is very short however.

It's probably unreasonable to expect a wide variety of IoT platforms to meet the "automated testing" requirement for Tier 1 status.
