I would like to use Linux on an embedded HW and my application requires the system to start operation as soon as it is switched on. (As an example, imagine a VCR, which start operation in a fraction of second.)
I did not seleted the HW yet. I need 4xRS232 port + 4xUSB host interface +
100 MBit/sec Ethernet + Video card + Mouse & Keyboard input + 48 general purpose parallel I/O lines + (battery operated) + physical dimensions are as small as possible.Can you advise me if it is possible to start/boot a version of Linux in sub-second (100-800 millisecond)? Do you know any embedded HW with the above specs?
Thanks
