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 I've found this: http://elinux.org/Linux_Tiny but it seems a bit outdated.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. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com
