May 16, 2018 at 17:58 comment added Mehran Memarnejad By difference, I do not mean any side effect caused by MMU. I mean do we have user and kernel mode? Am I able to use the same systemcalls?? Can I write device drivers just like the linux one?? And things like this...
May 16, 2018 at 17:44 comment added DoxyLover You should understand that there are ramifications to running without an MMU. For example, launching a program will be slower due to final relocation having to be done at that time instead of at link time. Also, multiple processes running the same executable will take more memory due to not being able to share copy-on-write pages. Finally, there is no protection from crashing the OS due to an errant memory write.
May 16, 2018 at 17:25 comment added Mehran Memarnejad What about QT? Does it run on uclinux or it runs on bate metal?
May 16, 2018 at 17:24 comment added Mehran Memarnejad I read about MMU. But is it the only difference between uclinux and Linux??
