Hi, I am looking for a version of Linux that would support a small data
acquisition application. Would like to run a 104 board with 1MB sram
and 1MB of flash, or at least the smallest amount of memory possible.
Does anyone know of a port with such a small footprint that has a TCP/IP
stack. Not looking to run X or anything large, just a small remote
application set from afar.....

Thanks in advance,
Gordon

1 MB of RAM is very tight. Can yo manage to have 2 MB? I have never
tried to run in 1 MB, but I think it might be just a bit too little.

Are you sure the 104 architecture is a good choice for such a system?
Maybe a PowerQUICC (Motorola MPC8xx) based solution would be smaller
(half the size of a credit card!), cheaper and less energy consuming.

See www.denx.de for examples of what I've done.

If you don't need X11, then 4 MB of RAM is ok, 2 MB can be done, for
1 MB I would have to look a bit closer into this.

Hope this helps,

Wolfgang
