G'day Guys and Gals,
As part of a new embedded development project (a scientific
instrument) we are currently trying to settle on an OS. Linux is being
considered along with NT, WinCE, QNX and ThreadX. One of the important
factors in the decision will be size of Flash required (we'll be using Disk
On Chip).
Does anyone out there have a good feeling (experience based is best)
on how many megabytes of DOC will be required to run Linux on a PC104 board
with the following services:
X-windows for VGA LCD (we need a gui front end, though not the actual
windowing, drop down lists etc).
Floppy disk support for upgrades and general file reading & writing.
DOC file support
Serial ports
Parallel port
keyboard
Unicode support
touch screen drivers (we can work this out separately).
We will not need networking, browsers, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
