Linux support for Samsung S3C2510A Processor

Linux support for Samsung S3C2510A Processor

[Madhavi Manchala]

Dear All,

Does Linux kernel supports the Samsung S3C2510A processor? Why am I
asking this question is, when I looked into  the arch/arm/ directory I
did not find anything which is related to Samsung S3C2510A processor.
There are other directories like mach-s3c24xx and mach-s3c64xx
directories, but not mach-s3c25xx.

Any ideas / hints will be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Madhavi M.

I think this is a no-mmu version, and there is not a lot of ARM no-mmu
support at the moment.

Dear Ben,

Thanks for you information.

As you said, it is not a MMU CPU.

That is, we do not port the Linux directly on to my board. If I want
to support Linux on my board which is based on the Samsung S3C2510A,
what is the procedure for it? Please suggest me.

Thanks and Regards,
Madhavi M.

Dear Ben,

Thank you very much for the information.

I think, if I want to port the Linux on to my board, which is based on
Samsung s3c2510a processor, then I need to develop the
arch/arm/mach-s3c2510 sources, which are currently not available in
the kernel source tree.

I saw that you only developed the sources for Samsung s3c24xx
processor in arch/arm/ of the Linux sources.

So, please suggest me with some good links / points for writing the
sources for Samsung s3c2510a processor under arch/arm. At least, how
can I start? Any templates?

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

Thanks and Regards,
Madhavi M.
