Linux on an ATmega8
Posted April 11, 2008 by Chris
Embedded & Real-time versions of Linux have become more popular in recent times because of both the compactness & portability that it offers. This write-up offers a method for getting a GNU/Linux kernel working on an ATmega8.

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

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

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?

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.
