+==============================

+This is a port of Linux to Axis Communications ETRAX 100LX,

+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

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.

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

+The ETRAX FS and ARTPEC-3 chips
+-------------------------------
-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 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.

+ETRAX FS and ARTPEC-3 are both CRISv32 architectures.
