novice - embedded linux

hi

I am new to embedded linux but not new to embedded systems. I have an dev board ( LPC2148 - ARM7TDMI) at hand

I would like to know where to get started to start working with embedde linux? Do I need to know about linux device drivers to proceed ?

Any guidance is appreciated

thanks in advance

I believe you need an MMU to run Linux, which the LPC2148 does not have. There is a port of uCLinux for the LPC2000 family, I suggest you start by looking this up. However, the LPC2148 only has 32K of RAM so this might be pi**ing into the wind whatever.

I always like to read introductory material before getting my hands dirty with something new. If you are like me, I'd begin reading:
