It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions + to get the system running. + + plat-s3c is the s3c24xx/s3c64xx platform directory, although it is currently + involved in other builds this will be phased out once the relevant code is + moved elsewhere. + + plat-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs. + + plat-s3c64xx is for the s3c64xx specific bits, see the S3C24XX docs. + + plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, more to be added. + + + [ to finish ] + + +Port Contributors +----------------- + + Ben Dooks (BJD) + Vincent Sanders + Herbert Potzl + Arnaud Patard (RTP) + Roc Wu + Klaus Fetscher + Dimitry Andric + Shannon Holland + Guillaume Gourat (NexVision) + Christer Weinigel (wingel) (Acer N30) + Lucas Correia Villa Real (S3C2400 port) + + +Document Author +--------------- + +Copyright 2009-2010 Ben Dooks -- 2.30.2
