Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

1 | S3C24XX ARM Linux Overview | ||
2 | ========================== | ||
3 | |||
4 | |||
5 | |||
6 | Introduction | ||
7 | ------------ | ||
8 | |||
9 | The Samsung S3C24XX range of ARM9 System-on-Chip CPUs are supported | ||
10 | by the 's3c2410' architecture of ARM Linux. Currently the S3C2410 and | ||
11 | the S3C2440 are supported CPUs. | ||
12 | |||
13 | |||
14 | Configuration | ||
15 | ------------- | ||
16 | |||
17 | A generic S3C2410 configuration is provided, and can be used as the | ||
18 | default by `make s3c2410_defconfig`. This configuration has support | ||
19 | for all the machines, and the commonly used features on them. | ||
20 | |||
21 | Certain machines may have their own default configurations as well, | ||
22 | please check the machine specific documentation. | ||
23 | |||
24 | |||
25 | Machines | ||
26 | -------- | ||
27 | |||
28 | The currently supported machines are as follows: | ||
29 | |||
30 | Simtec Electronics EB2410ITX (BAST) | ||
31 | |||
32 | A general purpose development board, see EB2410ITX.txt for further | ||
33 | details | ||
34 | |||
35 | Samsung SMDK2410 | ||
36 | |||
37 | Samsung's own development board, geared for PDA work. | ||
38 | |||
39 | Samsung/Meritech SMDK2440 | ||
40 | |||
41 | The S3C2440 compatible version of the SMDK2440 | ||
42 | |||
43 | Thorcom VR1000 | ||
44 | |||
45 | Custom embedded board | ||
46 | |||
47 | HP IPAQ 1940 | ||
48 | |||
49 | Handheld (IPAQ), available in several varieties | ||
50 | |||
51 | HP iPAQ rx3715 | ||
52 | |||
53 | S3C2440 based IPAQ, with a number of variations depending on | ||
54 | features shipped. | ||
55 | |||
56 | Acer N30 | ||
57 | |||
58 | A S3C2410 based PDA from Acer. There is a Wiki page at | ||
59 | http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/AcerN30Documentation . | ||
60 | |||
61 | |||
62 | Adding New Machines | ||
63 | ------------------- | ||
64 | |||
65 | The archicture has been designed to support as many machines as can | ||
66 | be configured for it in one kernel build, and any future additions | ||
67 | should keep this in mind before altering items outside of their own | ||
68 | machine files. | ||
69 | |||
70 | Machine definitions should be kept in linux/arch/arm/mach-s3c2410, | ||
71 | and there are a number of examples that can be looked at. | ||
72 | |||
73 | Read the kernel patch submission policies as well as the | ||
74 | Documentation/arm directory before submitting patches. The | ||
75 | ARM kernel series is managed by Russell King, and has a patch system | ||
76 | located at http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/ | ||
77 | as well as mailing lists that can be found from the same site. | ||
78 | |||
79 | As a courtesy, please notify <ben-linux@fluff.org> of any new | ||
80 | machines or other modifications. | ||
81 | |||
82 | Any large scale modifications, or new drivers should be discussed | ||
83 | on the ARM kernel mailing list (linux-arm-kernel) before being | ||
84 | attempted. | ||
85 | |||
86 | |||
87 | NAND | ||
88 | ---- | ||
89 | |||
90 | The current kernels now have support for the s3c2410 NAND | ||
91 | controller. If there are any problems the latest linux-mtd | ||
92 | CVS can be found from http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/ | ||
93 | |||
94 | |||
95 | Serial | ||
96 | ------ | ||
97 | |||
98 | The s3c2410 serial driver provides support for the internal | ||
99 | serial ports. These devices appear as /dev/ttySAC0 through 3. | ||
100 | |||
101 | To create device nodes for these, use the following commands | ||
102 | |||
103 | mknod ttySAC0 c 204 64 | ||
104 | mknod ttySAC1 c 204 65 | ||
105 | mknod ttySAC2 c 204 66 | ||
106 | |||
107 | |||
108 | GPIO | ||
109 | ---- | ||
110 | |||
111 | The core contains support for manipulating the GPIO, see the | ||
112 | documentation in GPIO.txt in the same directory as this file. | ||
113 | |||
114 | |||
115 | Clock Management | ||
116 | ---------------- | ||
117 | |||
118 | The core provides the interface defined in the header file | ||
119 | include/asm-arm/hardware/clock.h, to allow control over the | ||
120 | various clock units | ||
121 | |||
