[uClinux-dev] uClinux for the AT91SAM7X-familiy

2008-04-14 Thread Bob Brusa
Hi I am looking around to find a version of uClinux for the AT91SAM7X processor. So far without success. Is anyone aware of a development in progress for this uP - or for a close relative of it? If your answer is no - then which version of uClinux would you recommend to port it to the

[uClinux-dev] execute in place - yes or no?

2008-04-14 Thread Bob Brusa
Hi I am looking into the question: How many resources (flash and RAM) are required to run a (typical) uClinux-system? At some places I read, that each piece of software that is part of (uC)linux is loaded from disk, decompressed and executed in RAM. On the other hand: From my previous

[uClinux-dev] booting image.bin

2008-04-14 Thread Alberto VĂ©lez Ortiz
Hi all, I'm developing a custom board based on STR710 (arm7tdmi). Until now, I used a ST bootloader and the zimage.bin, which was self-decompressing and booting. However ,I need a faster boot time, so I was thinking about using image.bin (the uncompressed one). The problem raises when I

I'm less and less inclined to choose Lattice ... The Actel device plus ARM Cortex-M1 plus uClinux would be a nice solution. CodeSourcery claim support, but I haven't tried it yet. Agreed with you. I once did uclinux kernel port fro mico32 (for educational purpose), before Lattice come up

I would prefer a hard core, but I can't find a microcontroller (Blackfin, ColdFire, etc.) with the exact peripheral set I need. Hence I'm considering FPGA's, specifically the non-volatile kind. That means Lattice with the MICO32 or Actel with the ARM Cortex-M1. Why do you want an FPGA with
