><br>><br>> Hi Madahvi<br>><br>> Is S3C2510A is an ARM based core ? Linux does not specicallly support the<br>> processor family that you've askd for. For list of supported architetucte<br>> you can refer to this link<br>

they mentioned different directories under arch/arm directory like<br>mach-s3c2400, mach-s3c2410, mach-s3c2412, mach-s3c2440, mach-s3c2442,<br>etc. Then, no need to mention all these sub directories in that arch/arm directory. Am I correct? </blockquote>

<div> </div>
<div>mach-s3c2400 , mach-s3c2410 etc are part of Samsung S3C24XX seeirs - ARM 9 based family. Each of these folder contains</div>
<div>platform specific code. The corresponding hearder files are located in include/asm-asrm/plat-s3c24xx directories. </div>
<div> </div>
<blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class="gmail_quote">Please think once. May be we need to<br>add some files which are necessary for S3C2510A processor in the<br>
arch/arm/ directory in the form of something like a directory name<br>s3c2510a. What do you say?<br>

<div>Yes, you're right , you willl need a platform specific port for S3C2510A. I'm not sure S3C25XX based port is avialble or not.</div>
<div>It would also be helpful to you , if you can go through this chapter from , Linux kernel doucmentation. </div>

<div>The Section 3 should be able to give you more insight.</div>
