1 Samsung ARM Linux Overview 2 ========================== 3 4 Introduction 5 ------------ 6 7 The Samsung range of ARM SoCs spans many similar devices, from the initial 8 ARM9 through to the newest ARM cores. This document shows an overview of 9 the current kernel support, how to use it and where to find the code 10 that supports this. 11 12 The currently supported SoCs are: 13 14 - S3C24XX: See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for full list 15 - S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410 16 - S5PC110 / S5PV210 17 18 19 S3C24XX Systems 20 --------------- 21 22 There is still documentation in Documnetation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/ which 23 deals with the architecture and drivers specific to these devices. 24 25 See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for more information 26 on the implementation details and specific support. 27 28 29 Configuration 30 ------------- 31 32 A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of 33 unifying all the SoCs into one kernel. 34 35 s5pc110_defconfig - S5PC110 specific default configuration 36 s5pv210_defconfig - S5PV210 specific default configuration 37 38 39 Layout 40 ------ 41 42 The directory layout is currently being restructured, and consists of 43 several platform directories and then the machine specific directories 44 of the CPUs being built for. 45 46 plat-samsung provides the base for all the implementations, and is the 47 last in the line of include directories that are processed for the build 48 specific information. It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions 49 to get the system running. 50 51 plat-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs. 52 53 plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, and contains common support for the 54 S5P specific systems. Not all S5Ps use all the features in this directory 55 due to differences in the hardware. 56 57 58 Layout changes 59 -------------- 60 61 The old plat-s3c and plat-s5pc1xx directories have been removed, with 62 support moved to either plat-samsung or plat-s5p as necessary. These moves 63 where to simplify the include and dependency issues involved with having 64 so many different platform directories. 65 66 67 Port Contributors 68 ----------------- 69 70 Ben Dooks (BJD) 71 Vincent Sanders 72 Herbert Potzl 73 Arnaud Patard (RTP) 74 Roc Wu 75 Klaus Fetscher 76 Dimitry Andric 77 Shannon Holland 78 Guillaume Gourat (NexVision) 79 Christer Weinigel (wingel) (Acer N30) 80 Lucas Correia Villa Real (S3C2400 port) 81 82 83 Document Author 84 --------------- 85 86 Copyright 2009-2010 Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org>
