+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,
+  S3C2412, S3C2413, S3C2416, S3C2440, S3C2442, S3C2443 and S3C2450 devices
+  are supported.
+
+  Support for the S3C2400 and S3C24A0 series was never completed and the
+  corresponding code has been removed after a while.  If someone wishes to
+  revive this effort, partial support can be retrieved from earlier Linux
+  versions.
+
+  The S3C2416 and S3C2450 devices are very similar and S3C2450 support is
+  included under the arch/arm/mach-s3c directory. Note, while core
+  support for these SoCs is in, work on some of the extra peripherals
+  and extra interrupts is still ongoing.
+
+
+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.
+
+
+Layout
+------
+
+  The core support files, register, kernel and paltform data are located in the
+  platform code contained in arch/arm/mach-s3c with headers in
+  arch/arm/mach-s3c/include
+
+arch/arm/mach-s3c:
+
+  Files in here are either common to all the s3c24xx family,
+  or are common to only some of them with names to indicate this
+  status. The files that are not common to all are generally named
+  with the initial cpu they support in the series to ensure a short
+  name without any possibility of confusion with newer devices.
+
+  As an example, initially s3c244x would cover s3c2440 and s3c2442, but
+  with the s3c2443 which does not share many of the same drivers in
+  this directory, the name becomes invalid. We stick to s3c2440-<x>
+  to indicate a driver that is s3c2440 and s3c2442 compatible.
+
+  This does mean that to find the status of any given SoC, a number
+  of directories may need to be searched.
+
+

+
+Adding New Machines
+-------------------
+
+  The architecture 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 arch/arm/mach-s3c,
+  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. See http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/ for the
+  mailing list information.
+
+
+I2C
+---
+
+  The hardware I2C core in the CPU is supported in single master
+  mode, and can be configured via platform data.
+
+
+RTC
+---
+
+  Support for the onboard RTC unit, including alarm function.
+
+  This has recently been upgraded to use the new RTC core,
+  and the module has been renamed to rtc-s3c to fit in with
+  the new rtc naming scheme.
+
+
+Watchdog
+--------
+
+  The onchip watchdog is available via the standard watchdog
+  interface.
+
+
+NAND
+----
+
+  The current kernels now have support for the s3c2410 NAND
+  controller. If there are any problems the latest linux-mtd
+  code can be found from http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/
+
+  For more information see Documentation/arm/samsung-s3c24xx/nand.rst
+
+
+SD/MMC
+------
+
+  The SD/MMC hardware pre S3C2443 is supported in the current
+  kernel, the driver is drivers/mmc/host/s3cmci.c and supports
+  1 and 4 bit SD or MMC cards.
+
+  The SDIO behaviour of this driver has not been fully tested. There is no
+  current support for hardware SDIO interrupts.
+
+
+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.
+
+  Newer kernels carry GPIOLIB, and support is being moved towards
+  this with some of the older support in line to be removed.
+
+  As of v2.6.34, the move towards using gpiolib support is almost
+  complete, and very little of the old calls are left.
+
+  See Documentation/arm/samsung-s3c24xx/gpio.rst for the S3C24XX specific
+  support and Documentation/arm/samsung/gpio.rst for the core Samsung
+  implementation.
+
+
+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
+
+
+Suspend to RAM
+--------------
+
+  For boards that provide support for suspend to RAM, the
+  system can be placed into low power suspend.
+
+  See Suspend.txt for more information.
+
+
+SPI
+---
+
+  SPI drivers are available for both the in-built hardware
+  (although there is no DMA support yet) and a generic
+  GPIO based solution.
+
+
+LEDs
+----
+
+  There is support for GPIO based LEDs via a platform driver
+  in the LED subsystem.
+
+
+Platform Data
+-------------
+
+  Whenever a device has platform specific data that is specified
+  on a per-machine basis, care should be taken to ensure the
+  following:
+
+    1) that default data is not left in the device to confuse the
+       driver if a machine does not set it at startup
+
+    2) the data should (if possible) be marked as __initdata,
+       to ensure that the data is thrown away if the machine is
+       not the one currently in use.
+
+       The best way of doing this is to make a function that
+       kmalloc()s an area of memory, and copies the __initdata
+       and then sets the relevant device's platform data. Making
+       the function `__init` takes care of ensuring it is discarded
+       with the rest of the initialisation code::
+
+         static __init void s3c24xx_xxx_set_platdata(struct xxx_data *pd)
+         {
+             struct s3c2410_xxx_mach_info *npd;
+
+	   npd = kmalloc(sizeof(struct s3c2410_xxx_mach_info), GFP_KERNEL);
+	   if (npd) {
+	      memcpy(npd, pd, sizeof(struct s3c2410_xxx_mach_info));
+	      s3c_device_xxx.dev.platform_data = npd;
+	   } else {
+                printk(KERN_ERR "no memory for xxx platform data\n");
+	   }
+	}
+
+	Note, since the code is marked as __init, it should not be
+	exported outside arch/arm/mach-s3c/, or exported to
+	modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and related functions.
