I don't use arm anymore (and never used uClinux on arm, only full linux), but I certainly get the impression that current releases of the kernel and uclibc and such should all be working fine on the arm. Of course I think if you have an ARM with an MMU (which apparently you do not), then I would run real linux instead. The arm you have appears to be a thumb instruction microcontroller with almost no ram at all, no cache and no mmu. I have no idea if it could ever run uclinux at all. How much ram do you have on there? -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
