+                  =======================================
+                  FUJITSU FR-V LINUX KERNEL CONFIGURATION
+                  =======================================
+
+=====================
+CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
+=====================
+
+The most important setting is in the "MMU support options" tab (the first
+presented in the configuration tools available):
+
+ (*) "Kernel Type"
+
+     This options allows selection of normal, MMU-requiring linux, and uClinux
+     (which doesn't require an MMU and doesn't have inter-process protection).
+
+There are a number of settings in the "Processor type and features" section of
+the kernel configuration that need to be considered.
+
+ (*) "CPU"
+
+     The register and instruction sets at the core of the processor. This can
+     only be set to "FR40x/45x/55x" at the moment - but this permits usage of
+     the kernel with MB93091 CB10, CB11, CB30, CB41, CB60, CB70 and CB451
+     CPU boards, and with the MB93093 PDK board.
+
+ (*) "System"
+
+     This option allows a choice of basic system. This governs the peripherals
+     that are expected to be available.
+
+ (*) "Motherboard"
+
+     This specifies the type of motherboard being used, and the peripherals
+     upon it. Currently only "MB93090-MB00" can be set here.
+
+ (*) "Default cache-write mode"
+
+     This controls the initial data cache write management mode. By default
+     Write-Through is selected, but Write-Back (Copy-Back) can also be
+     selected. This can be changed dynamically once the kernel is running (see
+     features.txt).
+
+There are some architecture specific configuration options in the "General
+Setup" section of the kernel configuration too:
+
+ (*) "Reserve memory uncached for (PCI) DMA"
+
+     This requests that a uClinux kernel set aside some memory in an uncached
+     window for the use as consistent DMA memory (mainly for PCI). At least a
+     megabyte will be allocated in this way, possibly more. Any memory so
+     reserved will not be available for normal allocations.
+
+ (*) "Kernel support for ELF-FDPIC binaries"
+
+     This enables the binary-format driver for the new FDPIC ELF binaries that
+     this platform normally uses. These binaries are totally relocatable -
+     their separate sections can relocated independently, allowing them to be
+     shared on uClinux where possible. This should normally be enabled.
+
+ (*) "Kernel image protection"
+
+     This makes the protection register governing access to the core kernel
+     image prohibit access by userspace programs. This option is available on
+     uClinux only.
+
+There are also a number of settings in the "Kernel Hacking" section of the
+kernel configuration especially for debugging a kernel on this
+architecture. See the "gdbstub.txt" file for information about those.
+
+
+======================
+DEFAULT CONFIGURATIONS
+======================
+
+The kernel sources include a number of example default configurations:
+
+ (*) defconfig-mb93091
+
+     Default configuration for the MB93091-VDK with both CPU board and
+     MB93090-MB00 motherboard running uClinux.
+
+
+ (*) defconfig-mb93091-fb
+
+     Default configuration for the MB93091-VDK with CPU board,
+     MB93090-MB00 motherboard, and DAV board running uClinux.
+     Includes framebuffer driver.
+
+
+ (*) defconfig-mb93093
+
+     Default configuration for the MB93093-PDK board running uClinux.
+
+
+ (*) defconfig-cb70-standalone
+
+     Default configuration for the MB93091-VDK with only CB70 CPU board
+     running uClinux. This will use the CB70's DM9000 for network access.
+
+
+ (*) defconfig-mmu
+
+     Default configuration for the MB93091-VDK with both CB451 CPU board and
+     MB93090-MB00 motherboard running MMU linux.
+
+ (*) defconfig-mmu-audio
+
+     Default configuration for the MB93091-VDK with CB451 CPU board, DAV
+     board, and MB93090-MB00 motherboard running MMU linux. Includes
+     audio driver.
+
+ (*) defconfig-mmu-fb
+
+     Default configuration for the MB93091-VDK with CB451 CPU board, DAV
+     board, and MB93090-MB00 motherboard running MMU linux. Includes
+     framebuffer driver.
+
+ (*) defconfig-mmu-standalone
+
+     Default configuration for the MB93091-VDK with only CB451 CPU board
+     running MMU linux.
