+arch/z80/src/z180
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The arch/z80 directories contain files to support a variety of 8-bit architectures
+from ZiLOG (and spin-architectures such as the Rabbit2000). The arch/z80/src/z180
+sub-directory contains logic unique to the classic Z180 family of chips.
+
+Files in this directory include:
+
+z180_head.asm
+ This is the main entry point into the Z180 program. This includes the
+ handler for the RESET, power-up interrupt vector and address zero and all
+ RST interrupts.
+
+z180_rom.asm
+ Some architectures may have ROM located at address zero. In this case, a
+ special version of the "head" logic must be used. This special "head"
+ file is probably board-specific and, hence, belongs in the board-specific
+ configs/<board-name>/src directory. This file may, however, be used as
+ a model for such a board-specific file.
+
+ z180_rom.S is enabled by specifying CONFIG_LINKER_ROM_AT_0000 in the
+ configuration file.
+
+ A board specific version in the configs/<board-name>/src directory can be
+ used by:
+
+ 1. Define CONFIG_ARCH_HAVEHEAD
+ 2. Add the board-specific head file, say <filename>.asm, to
+ configs/<board-name>/src
+ 3. Add a file called Make.defs in the configs/<board-name>/src directory
+ containing the line: HEAD_ASRC = <file-name>.asm
+
+Make.defs
+ This is the standard makefile fragment that must be provided in all
+ chip directories. This fragment identifies the chip-specific file to
+ be used in building libarch.
+
+chip.h
+ This is the standard header file that must be provided in all chip
+ directories.
+
+z180_initialstate.c, z180_copystate.c, z180_restoreusercontext.asm, and
+z180_saveusercontext.asm, switch
+ These files implement the Z180 context switching logic
+
+z180_schedulesigaction.c and z180_sigdeliver.c
+ These files implement Z180 signal handling.
