The HW our system will run on is not yet finished, but what I have available is a RUBY II development card from VLSI. The RUBY II chip is a embedded controller with an ARM core (ARM 6 now, will be ARM 8 in later versions). The development system have 512 K flash and 512 K SRAM, so I don't know if I can get a stripped version up and running. I only need serial drivers (16C450 and 85C30, which I am working on know) and later we will add TCP/IP support. I will be interested in getting some more info on your work, to see if I should try to get it up and running on RUBY II. When will you release the first version ? BTW, which compiler are you using (have GCC got an ARM backend) ?
