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