ARM: SAMSUNG: Add initial documentation directory and overview
Start Documentation/arm/Samsung and add an initial overview file which whilst is not complete, is better than nothing. Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org>

1 Samsung ARM Linux Overview
2 ==========================
3
4Introduction
5------------
6
7 The Samsung range of ARM SoCs spans many similar devices, from the initial
8 ARM9 through to the newest ARM cores. This document shows an overview of
9 the current kernel support, how to use it and where to find the code
10 that supports this.
11
12 The currently supported SoCs are:
13
14 - S3C24XX: See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for full list
15 - S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410
16 - S5PC6440
17
18 S5PC100 and S5PC110 support is currently being merged
19
20
21S3C24XX Systems
22---------------
23
24 There is still documentation in Documnetation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/ which
25 deals with the architecture and drivers specific to these devices.
26
27 See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for more information
28 on the implementation details and specific support.
29
30
31Configuration
32-------------
33
34 A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of
35 unifying all the SoCs into one kernel.
36
37 s5p6440_defconfig - S5P6440 specific default configuration
38 s5pc100_defconfig - S5PC100 specific default configuration

41Layout
42------
43
44 The directory layout is currently being restructured, and consists of
45 several platform directories and then the machine specific directories
46 of the CPUs being built for.
47
48 plat-samsung provides the base for all the implementations, and is the
49 last in the line of include directories that are processed for the build
50 specific information. It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions
51 to get the system running.
52
53 plat-s3c is the s3c24xx/s3c64xx platform directory, although it is currently
54 involved in other builds this will be phased out once the relevant code is
55 moved elsewhere.
56
57 plat-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs.
58
59 plat-s3c64xx is for the s3c64xx specific bits, see the S3C24XX docs.
60
61 plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, more to be added.
