Many software developers in recent years have turned to Linux as their operating system of choice. Until the advent of uClinux developers of smaller embedded systems, usually incorporating ...

Linux, in the form of uClinux, can run on platforms 32-bit platforms like microcontrollers. Here we talk about how this is possible and how it works. Some time ago, I ran into the following post at ...

In case anyone is interested, I've been working on RISC-V emulator written in C and it has gotten to the point that it can run an MMU-less Linux. MMU is ...

With the falling cost of 32-bit processors containing a memory management unit (MMU), Flash memory and SDRAM, a new class of embedded devices is evolving in the networking, internet appliance and PDA ...
