General Information on Porting

[Charles L. Nelson]

Hi,
I am very interested in modifying an existing ARM port to more fully support
the Freescale i.MX31 (ARM1136JF-S) and doing a completely new port to
another CPU architecture that is currently not supported. While the
directory structure and build environment seems to be straight forward, I
can't seem to locate any information that specifically details the directory
structure and build environment.

The only way to glean this information would seem to be reverse engineer
build.sh. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Best Regards,

CLN

The first one's a bit outdated on the details, but it may help to get an
overview...
