From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Darren Hart Subject: Minimal x86 memory requirements Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 16:33:25 -0800 Message-ID: <4D59C9D5.4080909@linux.intel.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-embedded-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format="flowed" To: linux-embedded@vger.kernel.org I'm looking to build a bare minimum x86 kernel that will boot and run busybox, nothing else (and eventually less than that). Assuming I do need USB-HID, IDE, and basic TCP/IP, what should I expect to be the least RAM I could get away with just to boot off flash, get a getty, login, and take a few directory listings. If anyone would like to point me where to RTFM, that would be appreciated as well :-) -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center Yocto Project - Linux Kernel
