1. What to do when you have a custom board that isn't on the kernel config list? 

 

2. The board has: 16MB flash, 1MB SRAM, JTAG_UART @25MHz, Is it possible to run uClinux? 

And then Add: DM9000A, I2C, LCD, UART, JTAG_UART, Is it enough memory to run uClinux? 

 

please give me some advice, thank you.

1. Use a similar one existing in the kernel config list, or add your own.  

2. You don't have enough memory if the 1M sram is all you have.

So could you give us the minimal memory of the minimal uClinux ( only the kernel, no other componets), and how to do when "make menuconfig"? Thank you

I've gotten the kernel to run on 4 Megs x 32 (16 MB), but you can't do much with it.
