RE: [rtl] Linux as an embedded OS
Compressing the file system to fit into flash is O.K. if your design will
be static. Mine will change and change often due to the configuration ... I
am planning to use a DOC or SanDisk to keep the OS and required files. Run
the /var and other temporary directories on ramdisk. This way I can change
the OS and rtl and configuration when needed without much effort (over
ethernet from my desk). I also have the ability to change revision numbers
... So depending on the volume you plan to do the extra cost of more FLASH
is O.K. (SanDisk 60 MB ~ $290).
