   1 Summary
   2 =======

   4 This README is about U-Boot support for Renesas's ARM Cortex-A9 based RMOBILE[1]
   5 and R-Car[2]family of SoCs. Renesas's RMOBILE/R-Car SoC family contains an ARM
   6 Cortex-A9.
   7
   8 Currently the following boards are supported:
   9
  10 * KMC KZM-A9-GT [3]
  11 * Atmark-Techno Armadillo-800-EVA [4]
  12 * Renesas Electronics Lager
  13 * Renesas Electronics Koelsch

  15 Toolchain
  16 =========
  17
  18 ARM Cortex-A9 support ARM v7 instruction set (-march=armv7a).
  19 But currently we compile with -march=armv5 to allow more compilers to work.
  20 (For U-Boot code this has no performance impact.)
  21 Because there was no compiler which is supporting armv7a not much before.
  22 Currently, ELDK[5], Linaro[6], CodeSourcey[7] and Emdebian[8] supports -march=armv7a
  23 and you can get.
