Hi Ezequiel,

2012/4/10 Ezequiel Garc?a [off-list ref]:
Hello,

I would like to know what is the current status of the tiny linux
project? (The current goals, status and activeness).
I've found this:

http://elinux.org/Linux_Tiny

but it seems a bit outdated.

Also, I would like to know what's the smaller kernel (static and
dynamic memory footprint) that can be achieved
right now (without losing signicant funcionality).

Is it possible to run linux a 1 MB SRAM board (no DRAM) ? (I am
thinking at a ARM7 LPC2294 header board).
I'm going to hazard a guess and say no. I remember working with the
2.4.x kernel and being able to get it to run on a board with 4 MB of
RAM, and we were fairly tight.

You have to keep in mind that your 1 Mb has to store your currently
running user-mode programs as well.
