Of course it is possible to get the Linux version provided with SDK 2 running on the evaluation board. But it is a bit tricky because the documentation is a bit week concerning board customization (e.g. minimum memory requirements ...) and other "issues" (e.g. chip bugs).
We have done that and it works for us. There are certainly limitations in that you can not run SDK 2 apps requiring C0 silicon or apps requiring more than 1K control memory storage. You will also have to reduce the table sizes due to memory limitations in some cases. But for a development system this is often tolerable.
Hi! I wonder if you could give me any insight into what you had to do to boot Linux on the B0 board? I tried building my own from the intel-supplied sources, with no luck. The kernel available from the netwinder guys doesn't seem to support the necessary intel calls. Thanks! - James
