uClinux is a set of patches for Linux that supports MMUless processors. It brings a full featured operating system onto platforms that would otherwise run less advanced, simpler operating systems. uClinux gives the programmer a Linux API with remarkably few concessions to the lack of MMU , and in terms of code size and efficiency it has an advantage over standard Linux.
An extremely portable Linux distribution, optimized for embedded architectures without a full memory mangement unit (such as the ARM7TDMI core). More information can be found on the uClinux website ( http://uclinux.org).
