Is it possible to run some kind of OS that can run `busybox` on ESP32?

  Someone had managed to run Linux on ESP32 in 2021 [0][1]. But that's more of a proof-of-concept rather than a usable thing. Not much information besides that so far I think. Update: From the post [0]: someone also managed to run Ubuntu 9.04 on the board in 2020 [2].

    Is that also emulating a small arm core, like the guy who got linux booting on an avr chip?

      It's emulating a RISCV machine. IIRC there is an extensa port of Linux.

  NuttX runs on the ESP32[1] which provides a rather featureful shell[2] as well as a file system.
