romable kernel (XIP)

Hello,
I am looking for information about Linux XIP for eXecute In Place I need a romable image to minimize RAM usage.
Thanks for any information, link, or anything else about this subject. regards,

Serge

There is support in http://www.linux-vr.org for XIP kernel. grep for CONFIG_XIP_ROM and look in arch/mips/vr41xx for the linker script.

Note: linux-vr.org repository is old and being phased out and code moved to linux-mips.sourceforge.net.

Regards,
Brad

I know that the Agenda VR folks were working on XIP with their Linux PDA. That's for the VR MIPs chip. Of course, that chip is a dog and their implementation didn't help much. (Aside:
IMHO, the whole Agenda PDA fiasco was using Linux as a way to dump their load of crappy PDAs on technoids who'll snap up anything that runs Linux. So, please do this with your project.)
