Subject: [Q] TinyLinux project status (resend)
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:58:43 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALF0-+VvG3TwsZ3QFpNwRGgn=5xb54NvzeVBOG4wr_wpBdyPQg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

I would like to know what is the current status of the tiny linux
project? (The current goals, status and activeness).
I've found this:

http://elinux.org/Linux_Tiny

but it seems a bit outdated.

I'm adding Thomas to CC, cause he maintains (or used to according to elinux)
a list of relevant patches. What's the status of this?

Also, I would like to know what's the smallest 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).
I now this might sound crazy, but perhaps with In-Place stuff
and some hacks it could be possible.

I've seen tests with 2 MB but not with 1 MB. Also, I've seen
presentations by Matt Mackall [1] and Thomas Petazzoni [2].
but they're a few years old (ages in kernel time, right? :)

Also, wich is the relevant mailing list? Not sure.

Thanks a lot,
Ezequiel.
