Clearly tired of operation, the processing speed of lightning graphics and bags and bags of memory, the programmer Dmitry Grinberg has decided to return to the fundamentals of computer . And something more. As Linux has evolved into a 32 bit machine with 1 MB of RAM, which has always been considered the minimum requirements to run the operating system open source. Dmitry, however, to put this theory to the test, building a barebones implementation with only 8-bit RISC microcontroller in your heart. Operating at 6.5KHz little sedentary, with only 16 KB of SRAM and 128 KB of flash memory, these are the specifications that make the most phones seem to supercomputers. To make things work, Dimitri had to write an emulator for ARM the system seems to have a 32-bit processor with an MMU, and looks like a 30-pin SIMM

16 MB is added and the map SD to hold the image of Ubuntu. anyway, he was able to load Ubuntu successfully. Course, which lasted four hours, and it was after two hours waiting for the command of bash, but good. Grinberg said the system is still usable, with the command line usually respond "in a minute." So Dmitri, if you're reading this on your computer, happy new year! Watch the video time after the break to see the complete test of patience, action.
