2 Samsung ARM Linux Overview
3 ==========================
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
13 The currently supported SoCs are:
15 - S3C24XX: See Documentation/arm/samsung-s3c24xx/overview.rst for full list
16 - S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410
23 There is still documentation in Documnetation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/ which
24 deals with the architecture and drivers specific to these devices.
26 See Documentation/arm/samsung-s3c24xx/overview.rst for more information
27 on the implementation details and specific support.
33 A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of
34 unifying all the SoCs into one kernel.
37 - S5PC110 specific default configuration
39 - S5PV210 specific default configuration
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.
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.
54 plat-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs.
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.
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.
