That sounds reasonable to me at least. > This is a cortex-m3 controller. I discovered some patches so it seems > that it would be supported. > > My fear is NIC/LAN driver.

Well it appears to be an ARM Cortex M3 core, and there are patches around to make that work with linux. No idea about that specific chip, but have a look here: http://www.linux-arm.com/LinuxKernel/LinuxM3 This page has some links and info for Unison Ultra Tiny Embedded Linux for that chip: http://www.luminarymicro.com/products/ekc-lm3s9b92.html So well no idea what getting drivers would be like. It is TI so the impression I have gotten over the years with TI is that they are practically hostile to open source. Perhaps that is only some divisions of the company though. -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
