Is the uKernel going to require MMU eventually?

I thought about doing some porting to MMU-less hardware (where NetBSD does not make sense due to resource limits), but I wonder if you're going place a hard requirement for MMU in the future.

Honestly I have no idea. I am simply trying to make things work at the moment, learning as I am going. If you find the code base interesting then I will try everything I can to avoid putting a hard requirement for MMU. My goal is to keep uKernel as small (or modular) as possible anyway, so it should remain possible to accommodate many use cases without much hassle. But this road is still long... :) Right now I have to admit that I am having a bit of fun trying to make regular POSIX programs run directly on hardware. This approach may even be useful in other contexts, like symbolic execution. Cheers! -- khorben
