Linux on an 8-bit micro
<i>All that's left is that pesky 32-bit CPU & MMU requirement. Well the AVR has no MMU and is 8-bit. To conquer this obstacle, I wrote an ARM emulator.</i><p>So technically it's Linux running on a 32-bit "macro", just one which happens to be implemented in some seriously inefficient manner.<p>There are some real ports of Linux for "limited" architectures, like uClinux (supporting few 32-bit micros, including some MMU-less ones) and ELKS (for 16-bit x86 CPUs).<p>This project is "only" a cool ARM emulator with software DRAM controller, which BTW proves again that Linux doesn't fit onto 8-bit micros.
