2008-08-27	Blackfin arch: move include/asm-blackfin header files to arch/blackfin	Bryan Wu	1	-33/+0
	Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <cooloney@kernel.org>
2007-10-09	Blackfin arch: Print out debug info, as early as possible	Robin Getz	1	-0/+1
	Print out debug info, as early as possible - even before the kernel initializes the interrupt vectors. Now we can print out debug messages almost anytime during the boot process. Signed-off-by: Robin Getz <robin.getz@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com>
2007-08-05	Blackfin arch: add an exception request/free api	Mike Frysinger	1	-0/+8
	add an exception request/free api similar to the interrupt request/fre api so people can utilize the free software based exceptions for their own purposes Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <michael.frysinger@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com>
2007-08-05	Blackfin arch: allow people to select the feature that is unavailable to the kernel	Mike Frysinger	1	-1/+4
	- allow people to select the feature that is unavailable to the kernel: NMI, JTAG, or CYCLES. - change default NMI handler to simply dump hardware trace buffer. - remove default NMI handler completely as calling into kernel code is not safe move example handler to wiki so people dont haphazardly copy and paste this stuff thinking its safe Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <michael.frysinger@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com>
2007-08-03	Blackfin arch: remove unused code -- EVT0 is not controllable by software	Mike Frysinger	1	-1/+0

2007-05-07	blackfin architecture	Bryan Wu	1	-0/+22
	This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561 (Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP, BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix! Tinyboards. The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean, orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC (Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single instruction-set architecture. The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete documentation, including "getting started" guides available at: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for bfin-linux-uclibc This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution, uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/ We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can be found at: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=testing_the_linux_kernel [m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl: balance parenthesis in blackfin header files] Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl> Signed-off-by: Aubrey Li <aubrey.li@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Jie Zhang <jie.zhang@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
