Along the way to this demo, I discovered that reset handling for the 68K is annoyingly complicated. You might think there’s just a /RESET input to the CPU, and you could force /RESET low to reset the processor, but that’s not how it works...

So how much memory does it require to run a super-minimal uClinux system, with an old 2.0 kernel? If you follow my example and put as much as possible in ROM, it needs about 343K of ROM and 312K of RAM, or just 628K of RAM if you’ve got a bootloader that can fill RAM from some external source.

I'm amazed how quick he put that project together.
