hi,
hi to all you big guys there..man ..after reading your questions and answers i feel i m still in nursery :(
anyway heres my question:
I want to develop (or rather 'Port') the linux kernel on to the Pic16f877. Now the reason I wish to do this is:
1. I have to present a research paper due on april 22nd on the topic Real Time operating Systems: Case Study Microcontrollers.
2. I think since both Linux and PIc are so very commercially successful in there respective domains that it would be good idea to combine them in some way.
3. I love linux and the PIC and couldnt think of a better topic.
About the Real time part I think i will save that till later that is after I have finsihing porting Linux to the PIC (if I am able to do it i.e.)

Now i went through a book - Building Embedded Linux Systems ..and it says that it isnt easy (not impossible ) though to port linux on to a 'less than 32 bit' microcontroller or microprocessor. So I am stuck now! since Microchip doesnt offers a 32 bit microcontroller.
Please suggest me something! anything!

Thankyou
Bye
Vishal
