I said uClinux, so specifically I mean non-MMU varieties of Linux.
Of course I do know the difference. I'm going to do an embedded
controller project. So I'm very likely to use µcLinux
As of 2.6 we have a Posix threads representation in the Kernel
(NPTL). This should have changed the behavior of threads.
What architecture?
Supposedly NIOS. I do know that Altera is going to release an MMU for
that processor very soon, but that will reduce the performance by up at
least 10 % and while the 2.6.23 µCLinux for NIOS is just getting ready,
I suppose that there will be a while until a decent "full" Linux
distribution is available.
Anyway: While I do see that and why why fork() is not available in
µCLinux and thus spawning a process is not as easily as it is in full
Linux, I can't see what problems are introduced regarding threads.
