Hi All,
Smaller size --- Very Nice :).
Personally I think some of the TinyCoreLinux ideas would work VERY
well for use in embedded stuff. Basically the smallest kernel possible
with whatever stuff loaded from seperate files.
Seperate files so they can be easily reduced in size by people like me
(who cannot hold the whole kernel space in the brains at one time ;-).
Seperate files so when my latest BusyBox dies, I can easily go back to the
old working one WITHOUT recompiling the working kernel.
So my latest programs or kernel drivers can be mounted by NFS or from
a local MMC card. A kexec feature so my MMC card can take over the device
to test my latest kernel without having the whole thing die [ of course
none of you have ever had that experience :)))) ].
Easily compilable/re-compilable kernel drivers so I can try my latest
FPGA power line networking attempt on a known good kernel WITHOUT having
to recompile ANY part of the kernel. My kernel module ought to be able to
do patches and make hacks on the running kernel during startup or when
running.
Probably enough said ?
Keep up the GREAT work. OpenWRT is MOST impressive. I hope one day I
will get smart enough to add some useful features.
Warm regards,
Wiz (pen name)
