Well, I would call the 68K a microprocessor, not a microcontroller,
but that might be just a matter of taste, or nomenclature :)

I know uCLinux, and I have used it as well, in several contexts. My
previous comment was a reply in the specific context of Debian/Devuan
being a "Universal OS", and what I intended to say is that you can't
just take a vanilla kernel + some utils (more or less what you have on
a Devuan) and put them in a microcontroller, since this requires some
extra stuff that Linux does not natively provide (and that, obviously,
something like uCLinux provides).

But I admit that the wording was at least misleading ;)
