Re: Memory requirements

Hello everybody, I am trying to put a Linux on a FADS860T board, and I

This depends on your application, and which functions you  need  from
the kernel.

could anyone give me an idea of minimal and reasonable memory
requirement for these kind of boards...

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

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.
