Embedded devices like web phones, programmable logic controllers, and remote digital cameras often utilize "MMU-less" processors to reduce both cost and power consumption. Although these devices are very compact, low power, highly constrained in terms of resources such as memory, and are often diskless, they can still run Linux. This whitepaper briefly describes some of the technical issues associated with creating MMU-less embedded devices under uClinux.
