It's possible to run Linux on as little as 2 MB of RAM, or even less with careful depopulation of the kernel, but the question is whether that is still Tizen. I agree with Carsten that our Tizen lower boundary is somewhere in the 16-32 MB range, but I have not seen any figures to support or deny that. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/general
