How to Embed Linux

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the tiny-penguins dept.

Doc Ruby writes "LinuxJournal has an intro to uCLinux by David McCullough, one of the project developers. Specific techniques are discussed for Linux programming on this version, that runs on devices without the MMU that the Linux VM usually requires. Developers can make Linux apps run on uCLinux devices, including PDAs like a Palm IIIx, routers, DVD players, and even a FPGA."

    Linux is a server/desktop OS. It's not a real-time OS.

    It's a kernel. But yeah, it's not a real time OS. Or a dog. Or a salad.

    I think you will find that linux can be real time.

    For that matter, it can also be a dog, or a salad. :)
