    Eh isn’t this about programming an ATmega8 WITH Linux? That’s something different from running linux ON the thing.

  2. Chris Says:

    Yeah, titles & descriptions got mixed up on this news post. Thanks for the comment.

  3. Frank Zhao Says:

    while on the subject, check out the KontrollerLab IDE

    You fail! That was for zapping code onto the atmega8 under linux. I don’t think the 512k ram is going to be enough?

  5. Chris Says:

    Haha, Thanks r3vol.

    512k Ram can be more than enough for many things. Embedded Linux has indeed come a long way. But this article as I said before is a little off-topic.
