Builds for other machines?

[yatescr]

Has tiny core been built for other machines/architectures besides the x86? For example, and ARM7?

[Juanito]

Only x86 so far, I believe...

So Tiny Core isn't meant to address "embedded linux" applications? I.e., it's not really like MonteVista?

"Embedded Linux" devices use many different CPUs.
Each CPU requires a kernel and utilities compiled for that CPU.
This one happens to be 386.

gerald_clark: one distro can be recompiled and used for many different CPUs. just like MonteVista.

TC already has one characteristic that makes it a good target for embedded applications: a small memory footprint. Another would be real-time customizations.

[gerald_clark]

I am well aware of that.
I have many ARM and ppc machines siting here.
Go ahead if you have the machine to compile and test it.

If you are interested in porting TC to other architectures then you might be interested in OpenEmbedded (http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Main_Page).
I wanted to use this with TC in hopes to port it to ARMs but my priorities have changed. I believe I have most of the dependencies available as extensions if you or someone else wanted to take this over.
