| | uClinux - Setting up the Development Environment |
 | | The other important part of uClinux is a small footprint, which is essential for microcontrollers with little resources and it's BFLT (Binary Flat) Executable Format. | | | Linux-2.0.38.tar.gz is the original kernel you would use on your desktop computer. | | | A uClinux patch is applied to bring the kernel up to a level where it can be used on your microcontroller. |

| | Because uClinux cannot implement the functionality of brk and sbrk, it instead implements a global memory pool that basically is the kernel's free memory pool. | | | Unless the uClinux mmap can point directly to the file within the filesystem, thereby guaranteeing that it is sequential and contiguous, it must allocate memory and copy the data into the allocated memory. | | | uClinux is a version of Linux for CPUs without virtual memory or an MMU (Memory Management Unit) and is typically targeted at deeply embedded systems with very little memory or permanent storage. |

| | uClinux is a port of linux to systems lacking a memory management unit (mmu). | | | All addresses are computed as an offset to a base register (a5), which is passed to the user program by the kernel. | | | The native executable format of uClinux is a 'flat binary'. |

| | Peeking under the hood of SnapGear's uClinux-powered VPN appliances |
| | The router code is based on the uClinux project code, so you can add or subtract features at will. | | | Perhaps the most obvious network-oriented devices for which uClinux is appropriate are firewall/routers, which need all the latest protocols and capabilities, but are in a highly competitive environment in which cost is paramount. | | | Porting typical applications to uClinux is reportedly usually straightforward -- this might be expected, in light of the effort made by the project to integrate uClinux with Linux itself (an effort that has succeeded, as Linus has begun to merge the uClinux patch into the development kernel). |

| | Minix, uClinux and Linux on the ISICAD Prisma |
| | I heard about uClinux sometime in 1998 and although it had some attractions, NFS being a major one, I was making good progress with Minix at the time so I didn't have a good reason to switch. | | | uClinux is a port of Linux 2.0 to systems without a Memory Management Unit (MMU). | | | The Prisma 40 uses a separate I/O processor for all its serial ports so not only did I have to work out the memory map and interrupt handling for the 68040, I also had to try and reverse engineer the shared memory protocol used to communicate with the I/O processor. |

| | Embedded.com - How uClinux provides MMU-less processors with an alternative |
| | UClinux is a variant of mainstream Linux that runs on 'MMU-less' processor architectures. | | | Since virtual memory is not used in uClinux, swapping pages in and out of memory is not implemented, since it cannot be guaranteed that the pages would be loaded to the same location in RAM. | | | The lack of memory management hardware on uClinux target processors has meant that some changes needed to be made to the Linux system interface. |

| | uClinux is a port of regular Linux to microprocessors that lack a memory management unit (MMU). | | | The current distribution release is Linux kernel version 2.4.20, and there is active work on the 2.5/2.6 development tree as well. | | | For most user applications the only implication is that the fork() system call is unavailable, and vfork() must be used instead. |

| | NewsForge uClinux and Linux set to merge |
| | This new capability is due in part to the contributions of uClinux developers world-wide, including a number of engineers working at SnapGear Inc. Previously Linux generally required an MMU (Memory Management Unit) to operate. | | | Not a separate fork but rather a "shadowing" of the mainstream Linux kernel, uClinux is the world's favorite embedded Linux choice for system architectures lacking a MMU (Memory Management Unit) such as DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and SoC (System On Chip) embedded systems. | | | uClinux, or "Micro-Controller Linux", is the popular variant of mainstream Linux specifically for MMU-less processors and deeply embedded systems, adopted by open source companies such as Red Hat and Lineo, and as well as many Internet appliance manufacturers. |

| | Most of the software available for Linux or UNIX can be compiled directly on uClinux. | | | This means that while Linux or uClinux cannot guarantee certain interrupt or scheduler latency, compared to other operating systems of similar complexity, they show favorable performance characteristics. | | | Because Linux originally was developed for server and desktop usage, it does not have the hard real-time capabilities that most other operating systems of comparable complexity and size have. |
