Comment on Linux on an 8-bit microparent

Comments

Microcontrollers currently supported by uClinux cost >$5.

One interesting option to reduce the cost is to use a new microcontroller , the psoc 4(starting $1, 32 bit) which includes programmable logic, which might enable implementing the dram interface in hardware and to achieve good memory performance.

But <$10 for an ARM926 in very low quantities. Add DRAM, NAND (or SD).
