The Linux supports the ARM architecture. That is true.

Am I correct? mach-s3c2400 , mach-s3c2410 etc are part of Samsung S3C24XX seeirs - ARM 9 based family. Each of these folder contains platform specific code. The corresponding hearder files are located in include/asm-asrm/plat-s3c24xx directories. > Please think once.

It would also be helpful to you , if you can go through this chapter from , Linux kernel doucmentation. http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.37/Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt The Section 3 should be able to give you more insight. > Thanks and Regards, > Madhavi M. > > > ~Spinlock > >> > >> Please sugget me. > >> > >> Thanks and Regards, > >> Madhavi M. > >> > >> _______________________________________________ > >> Kernelnewbies mailing list > >> [email protected] > >> http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies > > > > > Regards Spinlock
