+                        S3C24XX ARM Linux Overview
+                        ==========================
+
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+  The Samsung S3C24XX range of ARM9 System-on-Chip CPUs are supported
+  by the 's3c2410' architecture of ARM Linux. Currently the S3C2410 and
+  the S3C2440 are supported CPUs.
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+  A generic S3C2410 configuration is provided, and can be used as the
+  default by `make s3c2410_defconfig`. This configuration has support
+  for all the machines, and the commonly used features on them.
+
+  Certain machines may have their own default configurations as well,
+  please check the machine specific documentation.
+
+
+Machines
+--------
+
+  The currently supported machines are as follows:
+
+  Simtec Electronics EB2410ITX (BAST)
+
+    A general purpose development board, see EB2410ITX.txt for further
+    details
+
+  Samsung SMDK2410
+
+    Samsung's own development board, geared for PDA work.
+
+  Samsung/Meritech SMDK2440
+
+    The S3C2440 compatible version of the SMDK2440
+
+  Thorcom VR1000
+
+    Custom embedded board
+
+  HP IPAQ 1940
+
+    Handheld (IPAQ), available in several varieties
+
+  HP iPAQ rx3715
+
+    S3C2440 based IPAQ, with a number of variations depending on
+    features shipped.
+
+  Acer N30
+
+    A S3C2410 based PDA from Acer.  There is a Wiki page at
+    http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/AcerN30Documentation .
+
+
+Adding New Machines
+-------------------
+
+  The archicture has been designed to support as many machines as can
+  be configured for it in one kernel build, and any future additions
+  should keep this in mind before altering items outside of their own
+  machine files.
+
+  Machine definitions should be kept in linux/arch/arm/mach-s3c2410,
+  and there are a number of examples that can be looked at.
+
+  Read the kernel patch submission policies as well as the
+  Documentation/arm directory before submitting patches. The
+  ARM kernel series is managed by Russell King, and has a patch system
+  located at http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/
+  as well as mailing lists that can be found from the same site.
+
+  As a courtesy, please notify <ben-linux@fluff.org> of any new
+  machines or other modifications.
+
+  Any large scale modifications, or new drivers should be discussed
+  on the ARM kernel mailing list (linux-arm-kernel) before being
+  attempted.
+
+
+NAND
+----
+
+  The current kernels now have support for the s3c2410 NAND
+  controller. If there are any problems the latest linux-mtd
+  CVS can be found from http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/
+
+
+Serial
+------
+
+  The s3c2410 serial driver provides support for the internal
+  serial ports. These devices appear as /dev/ttySAC0 through 3.
+
+  To create device nodes for these, use the following commands
+
+    mknod ttySAC0 c 204 64
+    mknod ttySAC1 c 204 65
+    mknod ttySAC2 c 204 66
+
+
+GPIO
+----
+
+  The core contains support for manipulating the GPIO, see the
+  documentation in GPIO.txt in the same directory as this file.
+
+
+Clock Management
+----------------
+
+  The core provides the interface defined in the header file
+  include/asm-arm/hardware/clock.h, to allow control over the
+  various clock units
