-OpenRISC Linux
-==============
-
-This is a port of Linux to the OpenRISC class of microprocessors; the initial
-target architecture, specifically, is the 32-bit OpenRISC 1000 family (or1k).
-
-For information about OpenRISC processors and ongoing development:
-
- website http://openrisc.io
-
-For more information about Linux on OpenRISC, please contact South Pole AB.

-Build instructions for OpenRISC toolchain and Linux
-===================================================
-
-In order to build and run Linux for OpenRISC, you'll need at least a basic
-toolchain and, perhaps, the architectural simulator. Steps to get these bits
-in place are outlined here.
-
-1) The toolchain can be obtained from openrisc.io. Instructions for building
-a toolchain can be found at:
-
-https://github.com/openrisc/tutorials
-
-2) or1ksim (optional)
-
-or1ksim is the architectural simulator which will allow you to actually run
-your OpenRISC Linux kernel if you don't have an OpenRISC processor at hand.
-
- git clone https://github.com/openrisc/or1ksim.git
-
- cd or1ksim
- ./configure --prefix=$OPENRISC_PREFIX
- make
- make install
-
-3) Linux kernel
-
-Build the kernel as usual
-
- make ARCH=openrisc defconfig
- make ARCH=openrisc
-
-4) Run in architectural simulator
-
-Grab the or1ksim platform configuration file (from the or1ksim source) and
-together with your freshly built vmlinux, run your kernel with the following
-incantation:
-
- sim -f arch/openrisc/or1ksim.cfg vmlinux
-

-
-Terminology
-===========
-
-In the code, the following particles are used on symbols to limit the scope
-to more or less specific processor implementations:
-
-openrisc: the OpenRISC class of processors
-or1k: the OpenRISC 1000 family of processors
-or1200: the OpenRISC 1200 processor
