Can RT-Linux run in systems requiring < 1 MB RAM and < 1 MB ROM/Flash?
Not that I have seen.
And is Everything in the world running on x86 or PowerPC?
No. And eCos doesn't even (last I saw) support the x86 family. That
means (to me at least) that the two markets for eCos and RT-Linux are
COMPLETELY SEPARATE! :-)
So then, having another open source operating system that is really
merely a scheduler and basic kernel
libraries is an important step, and in fact is of benefit to Linux.
eCos is also open source. That's good
for the whole open source community.
Why this adversarial take on things?
