2Samsung ARM Linux Overview

5Introduction
6------------
7
8  The Samsung range of ARM SoCs spans many similar devices, from the initial
9  ARM9 through to the newest ARM cores. This document shows an overview of
10  the current kernel support, how to use it and where to find the code
11  that supports this.
12
13  The currently supported SoCs are:
14
15  - S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410
16  - S5PC110 / S5PV210

19Configuration
20-------------
21
22  A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of
23  unifying all the SoCs into one kernel.
24
25  s5pc110_defconfig
26	- S5PC110 specific default configuration
27  s5pv210_defconfig
28	- S5PV210 specific default configuration

31Layout
32------
33
34  The directory layout is currently being restructured, and consists of
35  several platform directories and then the machine specific directories
36  of the CPUs being built for.
37
38  plat-samsung provides the base for all the implementations, and is the
39  last in the line of include directories that are processed for the build
40  specific information. It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions
41  to get the system running.
42
43  plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, and contains common support for the
44  S5P specific systems. Not all S5Ps use all the features in this directory
45  due to differences in the hardware.
46

48Layout changes
49--------------
50
51  The old plat-s3c and plat-s5pc1xx directories have been removed, with
52  support moved to either plat-samsung or plat-s5p as necessary. These moves
53  where to simplify the include and dependency issues involved with having
54  so many different platform directories.
