Hi.
I would like to know how much memory gnu/linux (or linux) takes up on NDS. I tried running it on NDS sometime back and I was not sure about the memory fingerprint I however know that we run out of memory when starting certain apps.
Now Plan9/Inferno takes up around 1MB mem and is available for ARM9 series processors.
I cannot claim that I know a lot about this platform but its just some info I wanted to share.

This info is a bit old, but it should still be about the same I would think:
