Quoting uhmgawa <[email protected]>:
We probably should be leveraging a cross built embedded class distro which would place us in that mainstream and solve many of our logistical problems.
As long as you have enough flash memory (some hundreds of MiB) and RAM (at least 64 MiB, better 128 MiB), Debian runs fine on such hardware in my experience. It depends on your applications, of course. Could you tell us something about your hardware and application?
But support of that architecture was likely never more than a coincidental goal for non-embedded server/workstation distros.
Debian is supposed to be the "universal operating system". I.e. it is for server + workstation + embedded + whatever. This is different from most other Linux distributions.
