Linux for dct3 and 4 phones

[enzo]

Hi everyone,
at this thread:

I got a idea from Leandros. Linux on a ARM-CPU!
Have somebody any idea how much space a linux kernel need?

If Linux Kernel self detects Hardware in the phone and could send requests for the Software packages with m/fbus cable and flash it with a Service software, all NOKIA Phones with enough memory could be supported.
If PS2 (linuxPAckage), SegaDreamcast, DBOX, Compaq handhelds run with Linux, why not a 3510 or others?

A mobile phone running Linux with implemented HexEditor, JPGviewer, Java technology, a Tool for progging without any PC and f***ing checksums and FAID. Useful Tools and not things like "NetMonitor" or the call listings should be built.

I am a windows user and have only a bit knowledge of Linux.
But for progging a kernel with soft, you must have the opcodes for the CPU and much more.

It's only a vision but maybe a good idea, isn`t it?

Please post your opinion about this.

I have inspirience with ARMLinux, and i'm working on porting linux or at least writing games for nokia phones (i have 3310 and it is a prety cool piece of hardware). I have already ported a Linux kernel on alarm which was powered with ARM7TDMI CirrusLogic CS89712,8MBFlash,8MBRAM,Ethernet processor.Kernel 2.4.18 fits in 300k (gzipped), but i think that the problem is with insufficient memory on 3310 (only 128K). But we can install some embeded Linux kernel which is far smaller and requires less RAM. All we need is documentation about the CPU and peripherials.MAD2 CPU+DSP in Nokia phones is some version of TI's tms320vc5470 If someone have any kind of iformation about MAD2 please email me.
