8-bit PC can run Ubuntu… takes about 6 hours to boot


Dmitry Grinberg decided to see if he could build a simple Linux computer around an 8-bit microcontroller. Just to be clear — this is not what the ATmega1284P microcrontoller was designed for.

It has just 128KB of storage and 16KB of RAM. It runs at up to 20 MHz, and is designed for embedded applications such as remote controls, appliances, or power tools… not computers.
