(The current goals, status and activeness). I've found this: http://elinux.org/Linux_Tiny but it seems a bit outdated. Also, I would like to know what's the smaller kernel (static and dynamic memory footprint) that can be achieved right now (without losing signicant funcionality). Is it possible to run linux a 1 MB SRAM board (no DRAM) ? (I am thinking at a ARM7 LPC2294 header board). Thanks a lot, Ezequiel. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

(I am > thinking at a ARM7 LPC2294 header board). I'm going to hazard a guess and say no. I remember working with the 2.4.x kernel and being able to get it to run on a board with 4 MB of RAM, and we were fairly tight. You have to keep in mind that your 1 Mb has to store your currently running user-mode programs as well. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
