Embedded Linux Support on Hercules MCU

Hello, forum.

I am wondering if there is support for embedded Linux for the Hercules series. If yes, is there a tutorial for it?

    The ARM Cortex-R used in the Hercules devices don't have a MMU (Memory Management Unit) and therefore can't run standard Linux.

    In theory there is uClinux to support processors without a MMU, but on a quick search couldn't see any existing examples for Cortex-R. I think uClinux is no longer being actively maintained, due to "NOMMU" support being added to mainline Linux.
