Subject: Running from ROM
Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2000 17:37:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200006052137.RAA29282@rome.wavemark.com> (raw)
I am doing some early investigation of the suitability of embedded
Linux. I am wondering about program loading.
Traditionally, embedded systems run their programming directly out of
ROM. Linux doesn't seem to have any concept of such a thing. But if
I have a large embedded application that needs every bit of its RAM
and ROM, I would like to find a way to get Linux to run directly out
of ROM with no moving parts (no disks). Anyone doing that?
Thanks,
-kb, the Kent who has done some web searching and is close to
concluding no one is doing this, but he hopes he is wrong.
