Thanks to all,

We have our 512Kb flash memory mapped.We have a keypad and a LCD
display. We have also developed a PC like bios for our system.
We have 2 serial ports & 1 can be used for console.

Therefore from your discussion i come to know that it is possible to
port ELKS to this board.

Is there any documentation for ELKS kernel ?.

ThankYou
