Hi Tom,

I am facing classic dilemma of which distribution to go for.
I have powerpc with mmu, MIPS, may be in future some other processor like ARM
and I want to keep my code portable to multiple arch.
Which means, if I use MMU/noMMU in both cases, I need to do less rework or no
rework and easy software maintanability.
My favorite is uclinux considering many ports and arch available on it and good developer base.
Some options I was guessing by doing some little search on internet:
1) penguinppc for powerpc but won't be useful for other arch.
2) use kernel.org vanilla with uclinux but not sure if I can find web
resources/guide to do porting easily or any help in software maintainability.
3) Add MMU support in uClinux
What do you folks do in such case?
It will be easier to decide if uClinux supports MMU.
From link,
http://www.ucdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/24/2353251
I think MMU is supported but I am still not sure.
Can you pls confirm and if there is any web resources on it?
Yes, MMU processors are supported in the uClinux-dist. Have been
for a very long time now. I used it to generate images for a lot
of MMU based processor targets (architectures include x86, arm,
mips, superH).
You can just drop in kernel.org kernels if you want. No real
effort required.
Regards
Greg
