^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) The ST Microelectronics SPEAr range of ARM9/CortexA9 System-on-Chip CPUs are
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) supported by the 'spear' platform of ARM Linux. Currently SPEAr1310,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) SPEAr1340, SPEAr300, SPEAr310, SPEAr320 and SPEAr600 SOCs are supported.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35) Configuration
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) -------------
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38) A generic configuration is provided for each machine, and can be used as the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39) default by::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 40)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 41) make spear13xx_defconfig
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 42) make spear3xx_defconfig
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 43) make spear6xx_defconfig

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 45) Layout
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 46) ------
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 47)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 48) The common files for multiple machine families (SPEAr3xx, SPEAr6xx and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 49) SPEAr13xx) are located in the platform code contained in arch/arm/plat-spear
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 50) with headers in plat/.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 51)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 52) Each machine series have a directory with name arch/arm/mach-spear followed by
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 53) series name. Like mach-spear3xx, mach-spear6xx and mach-spear13xx.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 54)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 55) Common file for machines of spear3xx family is mach-spear3xx/spear3xx.c, for
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 56) spear6xx is mach-spear6xx/spear6xx.c and for spear13xx family is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 57) mach-spear13xx/spear13xx.c. mach-spear* also contain soc/machine specific
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 58) files, like spear1310.c, spear1340.c spear300.c, spear310.c, spear320.c and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 59) spear600.c. mach-spear* doesn't contains board specific files as they fully
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 60) support Flattened Device Tree.
