Hi, embedded folks "Linux has gained more and more new features in recent years but at the same time has increased the kernel image size bit by bit. The new features do expand the applications a lot but their increased size also limit the application of Linux in some specific places." So, I have launched a new "Tiny Linux Kernel" project, which was a 'continuator' of the forthgoer: Linux-Tiny[1]. This project was sponsored by the "CELF Open Project 2011"[2] and its main development will happen in the coming 4 months and of course, I hope this will be maintained forever from now on. 1. Proposal http://elinux.org/Work_on_Tiny_Linux_Kernel 2. Developmenet management http://tinylab.org/index.php/projects/tinylinux/ 3. Git repository git://gitorious.org/tinylab/tinylinux.git @https://gitorious.org/tinylab/tinylinux The primary development effort have been put into the 2.6.35/dev/* branches, most of the arch related parts are only for MIPS platform currently, they will be migrated for another 3 main architectures: ARM, PowerPC and X86. After getting enough patches of cleaning up and fixing up, will create 2.6.35/stable/* branches and then linux-next/dev/*, linux-next/upstream/* and at last maintain a branch for the long-term 2.6.35 and upstream some of them to the mainline 3.x.y. Most of the existing patches in the 2.6.35/dev/* branches are experimental and some of them may even be 'ugly', they are only demos for the ideas proposed. Welcome your comments, tests, defect reports and even patches.
