      2Samsung ARM Linux Overview
      3==========================
      4
      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
     18

     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.
     28
     29
     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
     40
     41
     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.
