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 -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
