SPEAr ARM Linux Overview

supported by the 'spear' platform of ARM Linux. Currently SPEAr1310,
SPEAr1340, SPEAr300, SPEAr310, SPEAr320 and SPEAr600 SOCs are supported.

Hierarchy in SPEAr is as follows:
SPEAr (Platform)
- SPEAr3XX (3XX SOC series, based on ARM9)
- SPEAr300 (SOC)
ARM: SPEAr3xx: Add device-tree support to SPEAr3xx architecture This patch adds a generic target for SPEAr3xx machines that can be configured via the device-tree. Currently the following devices are supported via the devicetree: - VIC interrupts - PL011 UART - PL061 GPIO - PL110 CLCD - SP805 WDT - Synopsys DW I2C - Synopsys DW ethernet - ST FSMC-NAND - ST SPEAR-SMI - ST SPEAR-KEYBOARD - ST SPEAR-RTC - ARASAN SDHCI-SPEAR - SPEAR-EHCI - SPEAR-OHCI Other peripheral devices will follow in later patches. This also removes IO_ADDRESS macro and creates 16 MB static mappings instead of 4K for individual peripherals. This is done to have efficient TLB lookup for any I/O windows that are located closely together. ioremap() on this range will return this mapping only instead of creating another.

Common file for machines of spear3xx family is mach-spear3xx/spear3xx.c, for
spear6xx is mach-spear6xx/spear6xx.c and for spear13xx family is
mach-spear13xx/spear13xx.c. mach-spear* also contain soc/machine specific
files, like spear1310.c, spear1340.c spear300.c, spear310.c, spear320.c and
spear600.c. mach-spear* doesn't contains board specific files as they fully
support Flattened Device Tree.
