Well, I would call the 68K a microprocessor, not a microcontroller, but that might be just a matter of taste, or nomenclature :) I know uCLinux, and I have used it as well, in several contexts. My previous comment was a reply in the specific context of Debian/Devuan being a "Universal OS", and what I intended to say is that you can't just take a vanilla kernel + some utils (more or less what you have on a Devuan) and put them in a microcontroller, since this requires some extra stuff that Linux does not natively provide (and that, obviously, something like uCLinux provides). But I admit that the wording was at least misleading ;) HND KatolaZ -- [ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ --- GLUG Catania -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ me [at] katolaz.homeunix.net -- http://katolaz.homeunix.net -- ] [ GNU/Linux User:#325780/ICQ UIN: #258332181/GPG key ID 0B5F062F ] [ Fingerprint: 8E59 D6AA 445E FDB4 A153 3D5A 5F20 B3AE 0B5F 062F ] _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
