You are expecting to fit debian in 256KB of flash? because that's what
the luminary cortex-m3 chips have... also the 64K of ram included is not
enough to even start ucLinux.
I was vaguely wondering if some serial memory could be used to get the
nice OS features of debian packages... I hadn't realized I'd need so
much RAM as well as flash..
Lots people run debian-arm on systems without graphics. However, quite a
bit of RAM (32MB) and storage (1GB+) are still needed. The emdebian
project is working on driving those requirements down.
I hadn't run across them, (emdebian), yet, thanks for mentioning.
As for uClinux, it's not binary compatible with normal Linux, so you
would need to recompile all your applications and libraries.
Thanks for explaining all these trade-offs to a newbie.
