2016-02-19Documentation: arm: improve Armada 37xx descriptionThomas Petazzoni
In preparation to the introduction of other SoCs in the ARMv8 Armada EBU family, this commit tweaks the existing description of Armada 37xx by making the core, homepage and other informations be visible "under" the Armada 37xx item. Indeed, the new SoCs will not share the same core or homepage. In addition, a link to the Product Brief is added.

2016-02-19Documentation: arm: update Marvell product listingArnd Bergmann
I'm still getting confused regarding which core specifically is used in which SoC, so I've added some more detail to the Marvell README file. I got most of this from random sources on the internet, so it's possible that some of the information is wrong, but most of it should be pretty obvious. There are a few remaining points I could not find out: * The CPU core in Orion 88F6183 * The difference (if any) between PJ4B-MP and PJ4C * The naming of Feroceon/Jolteon/Flareon/Sheeva/Mohawk/PJ1/PJ4 is still confusing, as they tend to overlap. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> [Thomas: - move Armada SP out from the EBU family into its own "Storage" family. This chip is indeed not part of the EBU family. - fixed the URL for the Armada SP information, since the link of the original patch no longer existed - explicitly indicate that there is no support in upstream for the Armada SP - indent the "Core: " description for the Armada XP to be clearly under the Armada XP category, so that it is clear it applies to Armada XP only, and not other cores of the EBU family.] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: Gregory CLEMENT <gregory.clement@free-electrons.com>

2014-09-17Documentation: arm: add hardware datasheet reference for Marvell Armada XPThomas Petazzoni
Some time ago, the "Function Specifications" for the Marvell Armada XP processor has been released. However, the "Hardware Specifications" were not released at the same time. They have now been released publicly, so this commit updates the Marvell documentation file with the references to this new documentation. Three documents are available, one for each of the three variants of Armada XP: 78230, 78260 and 78460.

2014-07-25Documentation: arm: add URLs to public datasheets for the Marvell Armada XP SoCThomas Petazzoni
Marvell has very recently released a public version of the "Functional specifications" and "Hardware specifications" datasheets for the Marvell Armada XP SoC. This allows contributors and developers not under NDA with Marvell to get more details about this SoC than what the current kernel code shows, and hopefully allows to improve the support for this SoC in the mainline kernel, as well as in other projects.

2012-08-11arm: add documentation describing Marvell families of SoCThomas Petazzoni
As stated in the introduction of the document, the families of ARM SoCs at Marvell are very complicated, and it is difficult for newcomers to understand the organization of this SoC family and how it relates to the Linux kernel support for those hardware platforms. This document is only at RFC stage for now, it requires reviews and comments from the Marvell maintainers, the PXA maintainers and the MMP maintainers. For correctness of course, but also to add any other information that would be useful. For example, one of the thing that wasn't clear how to detail in the documentation is how the SoCs relate to each other in terms of hardware IP blocks. For example, most of the Kirkwood/Dove/Armada 370-XP/etc. hardware IPs (I2C, SPI, USB, SATA, etc.) are identical, while the PXA and MMP families are completely separate.

Changes from v2: * Mention the plat-<foo> directory that each SoC family is using. * Take into account Eric Miao's comments on the PXA/MMP families: add PXA21x/PXA25x/PXA26x to the list, mention which processors are AP+CP or AP only. Clarify the comments on which SoCs were designed by Intel, which ones were designed by Marvell after the acquisition of the XScale family. * Mention long-term plans regarding the support of those SoC families. Changes from v1: * Added publicly available datasheet for the 88F5182 pointed by Andrew Lunn. * Added publicly available datasheet for the 88F5281 found with Google searches * Mentionned the Feroceon core name where appropriate, and Sheeva where appropriate * Fixed the core names for PXA930, PXA935 and PXA955 after comments from Arnd Bergmann. Wikipedia is mistakenly suggesting that PXA93x are Sheeva-based, and there isn't much information available on the web about the 955.
