| |
Hello list,
I need to design a very small embedded system that must only control one ethernet port and two serial lines and must fit in a very small flash memory. So I thought about replacing the call to /etc/init by my application program and removing all the file-system part of linux.
Is that doable ?
Is there a 'standard' way of doing that ?
The first problem I see is accessing my serial lines. How could I do that without using open("/dev/ttySx"), which requires a file system ?
Is there a way to access devices that does not require a file-system ?
Thanks for reading this far
Philippe
