is there any ti mcu which can work with linux or uclinux kernel. I have looked all launchpads but it seems that there is any launchpad that can run with linux or uclinux kernel.
am I right?

Hi Veysel,

Moving your post to Microcontrollers forum in hope that experts from that forum may give right answer.

You can find a lot of MPUs on our web that support Linux. Just start here: http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/tools-software/linux.page

I didnt mean these mpus because they are expensive my project I need cheap boards like launcpads or like atmels sams.
Hi, TIVA series launchpad cannot run Linux on internal resource, uC Linux is not ported to TIVA.
If you can define more about what you need to do in term of processing power memory, number of task we can help more than a general answer.
There where one board from MikroElektronica capable of theoretical running Linux on board but none started porting nor can be of interest, FreeRTOS and TIRTOS exist to support these controller and again I/we don't know if fit your buck or the power you need. Other ready to run solution exists but this is a TI forum and I prefer limit case comparison.

Another board cheap and powerful is the Beagle Board Black (BBB) it run full Linux and is priced as low as 45US$, this is a complete PC like running on a credit card sized jewel fully open source hardware and software.

They are a reasonable price for something to run Linux!
Linux is not a small, light system; it demands a processor with serious resources - and that, of course, does not come "cheap".
So the question you need to ask is, probably: do you want it "cheap", or do you want to run Linux?

Atmel calls all their ARM-based chips "SAM" - from the big, "expensive" ones (capable of running Linux) down to the small, "cheap" Cortex-M0 (not capable of running Linux).

The Atmel SAMA5D3 Xplained Kit is $79: http://store.atmel.com/PartDetail.aspx?q=p:10500374#tc:description
The BeagleBone Black (with TI Sitara Cortex-A8 Microprocessor) is only $55; eg, http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?lang=en&site=us&keywords=BB-BBLK-000-REVC-ND
So which is "expensive" ?!
