If the cpu supports external RAM then I guess it can run uClinux. The 128Kb on-chip SRAM is usually used as scratchpad (faster memory). > > To run uClinux how much minimum SRAM Required? I've been able to run uClinux with kernel 2.0.x in a system with 512Kb RAM, but you'll be limited in what you can do... (the kernel was reduced to the minimum functionality).
