linux on arm core

Hi,

Is there any stable version of Linux porting on ARM core?

Besides, is it possible to port Linux onto a 4M rom and 4M ram system?

Thanks in advance, Liang

Yes.

Yes, but tricky.

E.g. the Linksys NSLU2 is a commercial device that runs Linux on am ARM.

There are a lot of other commercial devices (e.g. routers) that work alike.

OTOH that are quite a lot different "ARM cores" and each of them implemented in different chips of different brands.

So I suppose the correct answer to the questions is that this depends on a lot of circumstances.

I just did some investigations about Linux on ARM9 (e.g. Atmel RM9200). This core has an MMU and thus can run the "big" (non µC) Linux.

Here we have several Kernel distributions that come with development systems for the chip (from Atmel) or for OEM cards (e.g. SSV, DIGI, ...)
