+STM32 ARM Linux Overview
+========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The STMicroelectronics STM32 family of Cortex-A microprocessors (MPUs) and
+Cortex-M microcontrollers (MCUs) are supported by the 'STM32' platform of
+ARM Linux.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+For MCUs, use the provided default configuration:
+ make stm32_defconfig
+For MPUs, use multi_v7 configuration:
+ make multi_v7_defconfig
+
+Layout
+------
+
+All the files for multiple machine families are located in the platform code
+contained in arch/arm/mach-stm32
+
+There is a generic board board-dt.c in the mach folder which support
+Flattened Device Tree, which means, it works with any compatible board with
+Device Trees.
