Sounds like challenge?
Sounds like typical weasel-words marketing-speak to me. I bet it is fully
featured, and it can require as little as 12 KB of memory *BUT NOT AT THE
SAME TIME*.
As part of a fact-finding exercise within my company, I was asked to find
the footprint for our eCosPro RTOS and lwIP. I could fit a simple example
raw API lwIP httpd application in 33K ROM, and 10.6K RAM on AT91SAM7X. And
there's more I could have done with a bit more effort - and I suspect
their "12 KB of memory" refers only to RAM.
That figure includes the OS and the httpd, as well as lwIP, so I think we
have them beat already by quite some margin.
