, where I bought the camera, a few servos and wheels, and a microcontroller called the BrainStem. ... Then I fed the BrainStem some simple C code and modified the servos to give them 360 degrees of motion. So far, so good: I had eyes, legs and a brain. ... The motor-control functions I wrote had given him the equivalent of an inner-ear infection and a debilitating limp ... I thought the battery had died until I noticed that he was staring wistfully at my wife's pink tote bag, twitching back and forth to get the best possible view. Eureka. ..."

Linux Style: Linux Kernel 2.6: the Future of Embedded Computing, Part I
formatting link
"... Linux 2.6 comes with the acceptance and merging of much of the uClinux project into the mainstream kernel. The uClinux project is the Linux for Microcontrollers project ... The 2.6 version of Linux supports several current microcontrollers that don't have memory management units. Linux 2.6 supports Motorola m68k processors, such as Dragonball and ColdFire, as well as Hitachi H8/300 and NEC v850. Also supported is the ETRAX family of networking microcontrollers by Axis. ..."
