Spoiler: they wrote an ARM emulator.

Very impressive project, but if you were hoping to run Linux on an 8-bit microcontroller for anything real you'll be disappointed.

Well, it will run Linux on an 8-bit microcenter for real, just sloooowly :)

All they have to do fix that is set LS_COLORS appropriately.

I dunno if a factor of 40 is going to cut it.

Not really... Linux is running on the ARM... its just the ARM that is emulated.

Subtle difference, granted.

Was not disappointed...other than the comment section. Oy.
