Alexandre USB-to-RS232 adapters are cheap and easy to come by, and well worth the money when it comes to debugging your environment and code on evaluation boards.
Since uClinux uses the GNU toolchain, which can be hosted under OSX, I assume you should have no problems with that (assuming, though, you have all necessary support libraries on your system -- this usually requires having XCode installed). As for a platform -- I'd say you're probably better off with ARM-based boards, there are tons of options in the market (meaning there are many cheap boards available, as well as full-featured ones such as the Beagleboard). I've been working with a Blackfin BF527 EZKIT, which is a nice (if costly) kit, though some of the on-board devices still lack Linux drivers (such as a keypad and touchscreen display). It's probably not an easy option for a first board, though. Ulisses On Fri, 2009-09-25 at 21:27 +0200, Alexandre Tolmos wrote: > Hello all, > > > I'd like to try uClinux for hobby purposes.
