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  - S3C24XX: See Documentation/arm/samsung-s3c24xx/overview.rst for full list
16  - S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410
17  - S5PC110 / S5PV210

20S3C24XX Systems
21---------------
22
23  There is still documentation in Documnetation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/ which
24  deals with the architecture and drivers specific to these devices.
25
26  See Documentation/arm/samsung-s3c24xx/overview.rst for more information
27  on the implementation details and specific support.

30Configuration
31-------------
32
33  A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of
34  unifying all the SoCs into one kernel.
35
36  s5pc110_defconfig
37	- S5PC110 specific default configuration
38  s5pv210_defconfig
39	- S5PV210 specific default configuration

42Layout
43------
44
45  The directory layout is currently being restructured, and consists of
46  several platform directories and then the machine specific directories
47  of the CPUs being built for.
48
49  plat-samsung provides the base for all the implementations, and is the
50  last in the line of include directories that are processed for the build
51  specific information. It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions
52  to get the system running.
53
54  plat-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs.
55
56  plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, and contains common support for the
57  S5P specific systems. Not all S5Ps use all the features in this directory
58  due to differences in the hardware.
59
60
61Layout changes
62--------------
63
64  The old plat-s3c and plat-s5pc1xx directories have been removed, with
65  support moved to either plat-samsung or plat-s5p as necessary. These moves
66  where to simplify the include and dependency issues involved with having
67  so many different platform directories.
