Metag Architecture Repository
=============================

Maintainer: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com>

This repository is for ImgTec Meta architecture work for upstream, i.e. for the
arch/metag directory in the Linux kernel source.

The main branches are as follows:

for-next:
	This contains arch/metag patches for the next merge window.
	This branch is included in linux-next, but may be rebased from time to
	time.

fixes:
	This contains arch/metag fixes for the next release (fixes only).
	This branch is included in linux-next, but may be rebased from time to
	time.


Other branches:

imgdafs:
	The imgdafs (DA FileSystem) for accessing host PC files from a Meta
	target via a DA JTAG probe. This was never accepted upstream despite
	multiple versions being submitted.


Architecture Documentation
--------------------------

Architecture documentation can be found on the ImgTec download page at:

Look for:
	"Meta HTP.GP Instruction Set"
	"Meta HTP.GP Architecture Overview"


Buildroot and QEMU
------------------

Buildroot and QEMU ports for Meta can be found on GitHub:

https://github.com/img-meta

Buildroot can build a Meta toolchain, and QEMU can be used to emulate a Meta in
order to run a Meta Linux kernel.
