SPEAr ARM Linux Overview
|
||
|
|
==========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Introduction
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SPEAr (Structured Processor Enhanced Architecture).

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ST Microelectronics SPEAr range of ARM9/CortexA9 System-on-Chip CPUs are
|
||
|
|
supported by the 'spear' platform of ARM Linux. Currently SPEAr300,
|
||
|
|
SPEAr310, SPEAr320 and SPEAr600 SOCs are supported. Support for the SPEAr13XX
|
||
|
|
series is in progress.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hierarchy in SPEAr is as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SPEAr (Platform)
|
||
|
|
- SPEAr3XX (3XX SOC series, based on ARM9)
|
||
|
|
- SPEAr300 (SOC)
|
||
|
|
- SPEAr300_EVB (Evaluation Board)
|
||
|
|
- SPEAr310 (SOC)
|
||
|
|
- SPEAr310_EVB (Evaluation Board)
|
||
|
|
- SPEAr320 (SOC)
|
||
|
|
- SPEAr320_EVB (Evaluation Board)
|
||
|
|
- SPEAr6XX (6XX SOC series, based on ARM9)
|
||
|
|
- SPEAr600 (SOC)
|
||
|
|
- SPEAr600_EVB (Evaluation Board)
|
||
|
|
- SPEAr13XX (13XX SOC series, based on ARM CORTEXA9)
|
||
|
|
- SPEAr1300 (SOC)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configuration
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A generic configuration is provided for each machine, and can be used as the
|
||
|
|
default by
|
||
|
|
make spear600_defconfig
|
||
|
|
make spear300_defconfig
|
||
|
|
make spear310_defconfig
|
||
|
|
make spear320_defconfig
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Layout
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The common files for multiple machine families (SPEAr3XX, SPEAr6XX and
|
||
|
|
SPEAr13XX) are located in the platform code contained in arch/arm/plat-spear
|
||
|
|
with headers in plat/.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each machine series have a directory with name arch/arm/mach-spear followed by
|
||
|
|
series name. Like mach-spear3xx, mach-spear6xx and mach-spear13xx.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Common file for machines of spear3xx family is mach-spear3xx/spear3xx.c and for
|
||
|
|
spear6xx is mach-spear6xx/spear6xx.c. mach-spear* also contain soc/machine
|
||
|
|
specific files, like spear300.c, spear310.c, spear320.c and spear600.c.
|
||
|
|
mach-spear* also contains board specific files for each machine type.
