“The miniRTL project is developing a minimum sized real-time
Linux small enough to boot from a single floppy (or small Flash
memory device) into a ramdisk, yet with the most important features
of Linux. miniRTL is intended to be useful as the basis for
embedded systems, but also provides a means for real-time “newbies”
to learn more about real-time Linux.”
“The system hardware requirements are, currently:
- CPU: 386DX/486DX+
- RAM: 8 MB total RAM (4MB ramdisk + 4MB DRAM); on SMP it
currently requires 12MB - Boot: can boot from a 1.44MB floppy, so no HD is required; a
2MB Flash device should work well”
