I live in Quetta, Pakistan where we have tonnes of manpower but
not much of emplyment. I am seriously considering starting a cottege
industry making little diaries/laptops consisting of a cheap mcu like m68k
or arm (?) LCD screen and keyboard running embedded linux.
...away from the rest of the process, the bottleneck seems to be
the machine layout... not the OS. I just cant seem to find a good list of
all available mcus that run linux. the ARM website says nothing of the OLD
ARMs like arm2/3, it starts with ARM6 which could be too much and too
expensive. There has to be a website on the CHIPS not boards or machines
that can run linux.. and the addition of (appx) pricing would be
appreciated. Also does anyone know of intel MCUs like 8057 able to run
8086 code?? That would bring the cost down to like 2.5$ :) .
