Here is what I know about Linux on Milkymist One: For over a year, Takeshi Matsuya in Japan worked on it, but I haven't seen commits from him after March 2011. Sources are here https://github.com/tmatsuya/linux-2.6/commits/master Lars started doing some work in December/January, and lately has been continuing, I think. You can see Lars committing stuff just yesterday... There may also have been others helping, Michael Walle maybe? I am not sure. Many people told me they think Linux only make sense and will take off with an MMU, which first has to be added to the Milkymist SoC. Latest status was that there was some planning, but afaik nobody started implementing yet http://lists.milkymist.org/pipermail/devel-milkymist.org/2011-April/001418.html http://lists.milkymist.org/pipermail/devel-milkymist.org/2011-April/001472.html I am pretty sure that Linux will boot on M1 today, it did already many months ago and Lars and others have been doing more work since then. However, I am not sure about the status of peripheral support (drivers) on M1. It could be that quite a few are missing - video-in, mimi, dmx, ? That's all I know, hope it helps.
