The system has very minimal RAM (~200k). Does anyone have any idea (or even better, experience) about ELKS in such a low RAM configuration? I realise that I'll probably not get much more than the kernel booting, as other software running will require more RAM than I have. Getting to the stage where ELKS boots and my application prints "I'm alive!" over the serial port is my first target. cheers, Dave
