... which, by the way, is easily overclockable to 25 - 30 MHz, and then
the fun really starts. Power consumption rises about 2x, so you need
better batteries, but that's all. No bit errors nor heat (of course).
And with the 92-Plus module it has 640 KB of (static) 32-bit RAM and (I
believe) 2 MB of Flash RAM ... that should allow it to run uClinux I
believe.
