+# Exynos 5 Series Linux Mainline Patchset Generator
+## Description
+This Git repository hosts the mainline patchset generator for 32-bit Exynos 5 series ARM platforms (e.g. Exynos 5 Chromebooks, Odroid XU3/XU4, etc).
+
+This utility automatically:
+- Retrieves the postmarketOS Exynos 5 kernel fork (master branch); a mainline or close-to-mainline kernel that targets Exynos 5 hardware)
+- Determines what Linux release the postmarketOS kernel fork is based on (as it can vary; previously has it based on either a Linux release candidate or the 'linux-next' branch)
+- Obtains the unmodified and unpatched Linux kernel that the kernel fork is based on
+- Generates a mainline patchset via comparing both kernels that can be subsequently applied to unmodified mainlinue Linux kernels (with the benefit of improved support for 32-bit Exynos 5 ARM devices)
+
+Note: The resulting generated patchset will be located in the 'results' folder along with a log that details what Linux kernel release the postmarketOS kernel fork was based on.
+
+The resulting patchset can be applied with little to no additional work on regular unpatched mainline Linux kernels.  All devices supported by the postmarketOS Exynos 5 kernel fork are supported by the generated patchset.
+
+## Using the Mainline Patchset Generator
+Executing 'generate_exynos_5_series_mainline_patchset.sh' will generate the mainline patchset and place it in the 'results' folder automatically
