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 I've found this: http://elinux.org/Linux_Tiny but it seems a bit outdated.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). Thanks a lot, Ezequiel.

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

Chibios looks interesting, thanks...

These are distros, and they need *way* more than I'm willing to give :) on the "distro" side I'm targetting at uClinux. For the moment, I've just received a nommu coldfire board with 16 MB so I have a platform to try to build a tiny kernel (of course, I could do it anywhere, but it's more fun this way :) Thanks, Ezequiel.
