You could almost certainly get something based on the ELKS code running on
this type of system, but there would be quite alot of work involved. You
would have to hack the kernel to remove the filesystem code, which would be
no use on a machine without storage, and then replace the code which opens
up the init process with a kernel thread that does whatever you want the
board to do. What is the scope of this project, how long have you got,
and what other hardware will the system include?
