What we wnat is an application that takes about 100-120 MB disk storage space and 128MB memory footprint on top of linux. This communicates with a microcontroller which does some image procesing etc. The criteria for doing image processing is input from the user to the appln. on linux which inturn gives it to the microcontroller. All this in a dusty industrial environment.Amy I have ur sugesstions. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!
