OK. The Linux supports the ARM architecture. That is true. Then, why
they mentioned different directories under arch/arm directory like
mach-s3c2400, mach-s3c2410, mach-s3c2412, mach-s3c2440, mach-s3c2442,
etc. Then, no need to mention all these sub directories in that arch/arm directory. 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. May be we need to
add some files which are necessary for S3C2510A processor in the
arch/arm/ directory in the form of something like a directory name
s3c2510a. What do you say?
Yes, you're right , you willl need a platform specific port for S3C2510A. I'm not sure S3C25XX based port is avialble or not.
It would also be helpful to you , if you can go through this chapter from , Linux kernel doucmentation.
The Section 3 should be able to give you more insight.
Thanks and Regards,
