Minimum for a running system with very small application: 1MB flash, 4 MB RAM. Medium configuration as used in many shipping products like ISDN routers, Bluetooth Lan Access Points, etc.: 2 MB flash, 8 MB RAM Comfortable system for development (sufficient to compile the Linux kernel native on the target): 4 MB flash, 16 MB RAM Wolfgang Denk -- Software Engineering: Embedded and Realtime Systems, Embedded Linux Phone: (+49)-8142-4596-87 Fax: (+49)-8142-4596-88 Email: wd@denx.de Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction - from which, by induction, one can deduce that every program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
