Re: ELKS porting to DSP

["Gregg C Levine" <obiwanthejediknight@worldnet.att.net>]

Hello (again) from Gregg C Levine
I remember. And I also remember that the group told your colleage that ELKS
was, (still is), an x86 targeted OS. That unlike the actual Linux Kernel, it
wasn't portable. Oh it could be installed on a Psion, but not here. This DSP
does not use the x86 instruction set. Your ideas while lofty and good, don't
work. It would require a major rewrite of the entire kernel, and that's not
poissible, because it is an x86 targeted one. Your better off, investigating
my earlier advice, or even trying to port native Linux to it. Some related
processors are targets.
