+Introduction
+============
+
+RDC (http://www.rdc.com.tw) have been manufacturing x86-compatible SoC
+(system-on-chips) for a number of years.  They are not the fastest of
+CPUs (clock speeds ranging from 133-150MHz) but 486SX compatibility
+coupled with very low power consumption[1] and low cost make them ideal
+for embedded applications.
+
+
+Where to find
+=============
+
+RDC chips show up in numerous embedded devices, but be careful since
+many of them will not run Linux 2.6 without significant expertise.
+
+There are several variants of what the linux kernel refers to generically
+as RDC321X:  R8610, R321x, S3282 and AMRISC20000.
+
+R321x: Found in various routers, see the OpenWrt project for details,
+   http://wiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/rdcport
+
+R8610: Found on the RDC evaluation board
+   http://www.ivankuten.com/system-on-chip-soc/rdc-r8610/
+
+AMRISC20000: Found in the MGB-100 wireless hard disk
+   http://tintuc.no-ip.com/linux/tipps/mgb100/
+
+S3282: Found in various NAS devices, including the Bifferboard
+   http://www.bifferos.com
+
+
+Kernel Configuration
+====================
+
+Add support for this CPU with CONFIG_X86_RDC321X.  Ensure that maths
+emulation is included (CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION selected) and avoid MCE
+(CONFIG_X86_MCE not selected).
+
+
+CPU detection
+=============
+
+None of these chips support the cpuid instruction, so as with some
+other x86 compatible SoCs, we must check the north bridge and look
+for specific 'signature' PCI device config.
+
+The current detection code has been tested only on the Bifferboard
+(S3282 CPU), please send bug reports or success stories with
+other devices to bifferos@yahoo.co.uk.
+
+
+Credits
+=======
+
+Many thanks to RDC for providing the customer codes to allow
+detection of all known variants, without which this detection code
+would have been very hard to ascertain.
