No, missing a MMU.
- mrighele 6mo agoThere is μClinux [1] although it is not clear to me how much alive is the project I wish I could run DiscoBSD/RetroBSD [2] on an ESP32, I like the idea of running on a MCU something that was originally meant for a PDP/11 (2.11 BSD) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%9CClinux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%9CClinux [2] https://github.com/chettrick/discobsd https://github.com/chettrick/discobsd
- duskwuff 6mo ago> although it is not clear to me how much alive is the project It's essentially dead. There are very few practical applications for it - modern embedded RTOSes are better suited to low-memory MMU-less parts, and SoCs with a MMU and more memory that can run a "real" Linux aren't very expensive.
- madushan1000 6mo agoyou can run linux on riscv without an MMU. There is mainline support for Kendryte K210 chip, so it should be possible port to this chip provided you have enough PSRAM.
