Re: [gambit-list] Porting to "small" machines -- target requirements?

To my knowledge recent versions of Gambit have been compiled on the following embedded systems:

• Nintendo DS (ARM CPU, 4 MB RAM)
• Linksys WRT54GL (MIPS CPU?, 16 MB RAM)
• iPhone/iTouch (ARM CPU, 128 MB RAM)
• Xilinx Virtex II FPGA (PowerPC CPU, a few MB of RAM)

Search the Gambit mailing list archive for details.

Gambit was designed to be extremely portable. It has very few library dependencies (libc is enough to have a working system).

I think all these system have a MMU. Can Gambit run on a no-MMU system?

I'd like to propose Gambit for a project based on ucLinux on a Renesas SH7203. AFAIK, ucLinux's malloc() uses mmap() instead of brk(), it is a iusse wrt memory management?

Thank in advance for experiences reports and suggestions.
