  4. Introduction
    5. 

  5. ------------
    6. 

  6. 

  7.   The Samsung range of ARM SoCs spans many similar devices, from the initial
    8. 

  8.   ARM9 through to the newest ARM cores. This document shows an overview of
    9. 

  9.   the current kernel support, how to use it and where to find the code
    10. 

  10.   that supports this.
    11. 

  11. 

  12.   The currently supported SoCs are:
    13. 

  13. 

  14.   - S3C24XX: See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for full list
    15. 

  15.   - S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410
    16. 

  16.   - S5PC6440
    17. 

  17. 

  18.   S5PC100 and S5PC110 support is currently being merged
    19. 

  19. 

  20. 

  21. S3C24XX Systems
    22. 

  22. ---------------
    23. 

  23. 

  24.   There is still documentation in Documnetation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/ which
    25. 

  25.   deals with the architecture and drivers specific to these devices.
    26. 

  26. 

  27.   See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for more information
    28. 

  28.   on the implementation details and specific support.
    29. 

  29. 

  30. 

  31. Configuration
    32. 

  32. -------------
    33. 

  33. 

  34.   A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of
    35. 

  35.   unifying all the SoCs into one kernel.
    36. 

  36. 

  37.   s5p6440_defconfig - S5P6440 specific default configuration
    38. 

  38.   s5pc100_defconfig - S5PC100 specific default configuration
    39. 

  39. 

  40. 

  41. Layout
    42. 

  42. ------
    43. 

  43. 

  44.   The directory layout is currently being restructured, and consists of
    45. 

  45.   several platform directories and then the machine specific directories
    46. 

  46.   of the CPUs being built for.
    47. 

  47. 

  48.   plat-samsung provides the base for all the implementations, and is the
    49. 

  49.   last in the line of include directories that are processed for the build
    50. 

  50.   specific information. It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions
    51. 

  51.   to get the system running.
    52. 

  52. 

  53.   plat-s3c is the s3c24xx/s3c64xx platform directory, although it is currently
    54. 

  54.   involved in other builds this will be phased out once the relevant code is
    55. 

  55.   moved elsewhere.
    56. 

  56. 

  57.   plat-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs.
    58. 

  58. 

  59.   plat-s3c64xx is for the s3c64xx specific bits, see the S3C24XX docs.
    60. 

  60. 

  61.   plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, more to be added.
