Hi Philippe,
I maintain LTIB (the tool). Generally speaking for MMUless platforms I'd
recommend using uClinux-dist. However if LTIB has the exact platform
you're interested in that may be helpful as it will be known to work out of
the box. The compiler used in LTIB should work with uClinux-dist
notwithstanding some gcc strictness issues (depends on version). You may
also find some of the patches to the kernel that are not yet in mainstream
may be useful. For platforms with MMUs I'd recommend LTIB though (no
surprise there).
The MCF5484 has a MMU, but linux-2.6.30 (even in uclinux-dist flavour)
does not seem to use it : I grep'ped for mmubar in the whole source tree
without result.
Does the ltib-provided kernel use the mmu ? And if that's the case,
is there an ongoing effort to merge those mmu patches in the uclinux-
or Linus' kernel tree ?
I believe the kernel in LTIB does run with the MMU. The platform
abstractions themselves (kernel/bootloader) are maintained by different
teams. You'll need to contact Freescale to find out where there are
regarding merging into the mainline.
Regards, Stuart
