Yes that's right, but that's why I was asking about the minimum footprint - let's say when statically linked. I just try to get some kind of "offical" numbers, since many people talk about it's small footprint. >> (2) Is there a number for the latency to handle events (e.g. interrupt >> latency) ? >Don't know. >> (3.1) Is there an investigation about power consumption with BusyBox during >> sleep modes ? >Don't know. >> (3.2) Is there an investigation about power consumption with BusyBox during >> normal/(full) operation mode? >Don't know. >> (4) Are sleep modes configurable ? >Don't know. >> (5) How many GPIO user out/inputs can be used e.g.: for user interaction >> (buttons, LEDS, dip-switches ...) ? >I think this is not related to busybox >> (6) Is there a (stateless/statefull) firewall for BusyBox ? > think this is not related to busybox.

There they say there is no TCP/IP stack in BusyBox. >> (7.2) Does BusyBox provide a Bluetooth stack ? >>Would say no. >> (7.3) Does BusyBox provide a ZigBee stack ? >Would say no. >> (7.4) Does BusyBox provide a ZWave stack ? >Would say No. >> (7.5) Does Busybox provide a 6LOWPAN stack ? >Wouls say no. >> (8.1) Due to BusyBox seems to be written in C, is it still possible to >> execute a C++ application successfully ? >Yes, If your system has the relevant c++ libraries. >> (8.2) Is it possible to execute a Java application ? >Yes, if your system has the relevant java runtime environment. >> (9) Can applications be debugged while they are executed on the target ? >Yes, with strace and/or by enabling Busybox Settings -> Debugging options at >compile time. >> (10) What is the long-term availability of BusyBox?

Maybe I should have asked differently: will BusyBox be developped and supported in future or e.g.: will there be a successor program and therefore BusyBox would be left on a final state ? >> (11) Is remote login to a target possible, that is running with BusyBox? >> (e.g. with telnet or SSH) >Telnet yes.
