Distro for a platform without floating point support

estratos · 01-30-2008, 03:20 AM

Hi,

I'm thinking in using a MicroClient JrSx for an embedded project that I have in mind. Here you have a description of the MicroClient:

The problem is that this computer doesn't provide support for floating point. Do you know of any server-based (no graphical frontend) distro that could run on this platform? I prefer a Debian-based solution but I'm open to other formulas.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel.

AFAIK this isn't a distro specific question, the kernel *has* FPU emu, just needs to be compiled it in if it isn't provided for in the default kernel.

Embedded Debian project

Of course with the CPU in that unit I don't think it would fall under the embedded project..
Maybe the Debian Live Project would be a better fit..
