  1. Samsung ARM Linux Overview
  2. ==========================
  3. Introduction
  4. ------------
  5. The Samsung range of ARM SoCs spans many similar devices, from the initial
  6. ARM9 through to the newest ARM cores. This document shows an overview of
  7. the current kernel support, how to use it and where to find the code
  8. that supports this.
  9. The currently supported SoCs are:
  10. - S3C24XX: See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for full list
  11. - S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410
  12. - S5PC110 / S5PV210
  13. S3C24XX Systems
  14. ---------------
  15. There is still documentation in Documnetation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/ which
  16. deals with the architecture and drivers specific to these devices.
  17. See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for more information
  18. on the implementation details and specific support.
  19. Configuration
  20. -------------
  21. A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of
  22. unifying all the SoCs into one kernel.
  23. s5pc110_defconfig - S5PC110 specific default configuration
  24. s5pv210_defconfig - S5PV210 specific default configuration
  25. Layout
  26. ------
  27. The directory layout is currently being restructured, and consists of
  28. several platform directories and then the machine specific directories
  29. of the CPUs being built for.
  30. plat-samsung provides the base for all the implementations, and is the
  31. last in the line of include directories that are processed for the build
  32. specific information. It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions
  33. to get the system running.
  34. plat-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs.
  35. plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, and contains common support for the
  36. S5P specific systems. Not all S5Ps use all the features in this directory
  37. due to differences in the hardware.
  38. Layout changes
  39. --------------
  40. The old plat-s3c and plat-s5pc1xx directories have been removed, with
  41. support moved to either plat-samsung or plat-s5p as necessary. These moves
  42. where to simplify the include and dependency issues involved with having
  43. so many different platform directories.
