+ Interface between kernel and boot loaders on Exynos boards
+ ==========================================================
+
+Author: Krzysztof Kozlowski
+Date : 6 June 2015
+
+The document tries to describe currently used interface between Linux kernel
+and boot loaders on Samsung Exynos based boards. This is not a definition
+of interface but rather a description of existing state, a reference
+for information purpose only.
+
+In the document "boot loader" means any of following: U-boot, proprietary
+SBOOT or any other firmware for ARMv7 and ARMv8 initializing the board before
+executing kernel.
+
+
+1. Non-Secure mode
+Address: sysram_ns_base_addr

+ STM32 ARM Linux Overview
+ ========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+ The STMicroelectronics family of Cortex-M based MCUs are supported by the
+ 'STM32' platform of ARM Linux. Currently only the STM32F429 is supported.
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+ A generic configuration is provided for STM32 family, and can be used as the
+ default by
+ make stm32_defconfig
+
+Layout
+------
+
+ All the files for multiple machine families are located in the platform code
+ contained in arch/arm/mach-stm32
+
+ There is a generic board board-dt.c in the mach folder which support
+ Flattened Device Tree, which means, it works with any compatible board with
+ Device Trees.
