Please provide generic concepts about porting Linux to ARM.
Hello and welcome!
Have you already looked at From Zero to Boot: Porting Android to your ARM platform?
That should give you the generic concepts...
Hi,
you can find examples from kernel source tree.
LXR linux/arch/arm/
There are many platforms sit in the directory above. Normally, you don't need to do much regarding processor itself unless you are doing SoC enabling work. I presume you just want to make Linux run on the board you designed. If it is the case, have a look at LXR linux/arch/arm/mach-realview/ It will show how to setup memory map, peripherals etc.
Hope this helps.
Hi vinayak,
An excellent primer on how to port Linux to a new SoC is Free Electrons' guide. There are numerous other resources available on the net, but Free Electrons is one of the better ones.
