Linux 2.4 on the CRIS architecture
==================================

Linux on the CRIS architecture
==============================
This is a port of Linux 2.4 to Axis Communications ETRAX 100LX embedded
network CPU. For more information about CRIS and ETRAX please see further
below.
This is a port of Linux to Axis Communications ETRAX 100LX,
ETRAX FS and ARTPEC-3 embedded network CPUs.
For more information about CRIS and ETRAX please see further below.
In order to compile this you need a version of gcc with support for the
ETRAX chip family. Please see this link for more information on how to
ETRAX chip family. Please see this link for more information on how to
download the compiler and other tools useful when building and booting
software for the ETRAX platform:

What is CRIS ?
--------------
CRIS is an acronym for 'Code Reduced Instruction Set'. It is the CPU
architecture in Axis Communication AB's range of embedded network CPU's,
called ETRAX. The latest CPU is called ETRAX 100LX, where LX stands for
'Linux' because the chip was designed to be a good host for the Linux
operating system.
called ETRAX.
The ETRAX 100LX chip

The ETRAX 100LX is a 100 MIPS processor with 8kB cache, MMU, and a very broad
range of built-in interfaces, all with modern scatter/gather DMA.

The previous version of the ETRAX, the ETRAX 100, sits in almost all of
Axis shipping thin-servers like the Axis 2100 web camera or the ETRAX 100
developer-board. It lacks an MMU so the Linux we run on that is a version
of uClinux (Linux 2.0 without MM-support) ported to the CRIS architecture.
The new Linux 2.4 port has full MM and needs a CPU with an MMU, so it will
not run on the ETRAX 100.
ETRAX 100LX is CRISv10 architecture.
A version of the Axis developer-board with ETRAX 100LX (running Linux
2.4) is now available. For more information please see developer.axis.com.
The ETRAX FS and ARTPEC-3 chips
-------------------------------
The ETRAX FS is a 200MHz 32-bit RISC processor with on-chip 16kB
I-cache and 16kB D-cache and with a wide range of device interfaces
including multiple high speed serial ports and an integrated USB 1.1 PHY.
The ARTPEC-3 is a variant of the ETRAX FS with additional IO-units
used by the Axis Communications network cameras.
See below link for more information:
http://www.axis.com/products/dev_etrax_fs/index.htm
ETRAX FS and ARTPEC-3 are both CRISv32 architectures.
