+Linux 2.4 on the CRIS architecture
+==================================
+$Id: README,v 1.7 2001/04/19 12:38:32 bjornw Exp $
+
+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.
+
+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
+download the compiler and other tools useful when building and booting
+software for the ETRAX platform:
+
+http://developer.axis.com/doc/software/devboard_lx/install-howto.html
+
+<more specific information should come in this document later>
+
+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
+--------------------
+
+For reference, plase see the press-release:
+
+http://www.axis.com/news/us/001101_etrax.htm
+
+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.
+
+Memory interfaces:
+
+ * SRAM
+ * NOR-flash/ROM
+ * EDO or page-mode DRAM
+ * SDRAM
+
+I/O interfaces:
+
+ * one 10/100 Mbit/s ethernet controller
+ * four serial-ports (up to 6 Mbit/s)
+ * two synchronous serial-ports for multimedia codec's etc.
+ * USB host controller and USB slave
+ * ATA
+ * SCSI
+ * two parallel-ports
+ * two generic 8-bit ports
+
+ (not all interfaces are available at the same time due to chip pin
+ multiplexing)
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+
+Bootlog
+-------
+
+Just as an example, this is the debug-output from a boot of Linux 2.4 on
+a board with ETRAX 100LX. The displayed BogoMIPS value is 5 times too small :)
+At the end you see some user-mode programs booting like telnet and ftp daemons.
