That's just an ARM core, not a full system! ;-) You should in fact even be
able to run a full fledged linux with such a core if you'd wanted to and have
enough memory.
I'm wondering if it might be practical to port libcurl to such a system?
Possibly with no OS ("bare metal"); probably using a 3rd-party TCP/IP stack.
Is there a "porting guide"?
The closest to such a thing is docs/INTERNALS combined with docs/INSTALL.
In short, if you have a somewhat POSIX-compliant tcp/ip stack and you have
other fundamental libc functions such as malloc and a few other file
descriptor-related functions you should be able to do it. I think.
