I'm looking for the lowest power arm with an external bus and MMU. It should be able to run Linux, even if theres no readily available toolchain for it. So It should be ARM720T or higher. The Atmel ARM9 parts are the only ones that support 1.8V external bus, where I can use low-power SRAM working on 1.8V. Every other ARM is 3.3V at their external bus, including the LPC2000 ones. I'll probably clock it down to whatever gives me 10 MIPs but not any lower (Dont want to run it at 32kHz). Come to think of it, low-power SRAM will allow me to go down to 32kHz, but that'll hurt the application. I have Windows CE 3.0 or higher as a possibility, but linux is the target for now. I'll even investigate a MMU-less ARM if it has 1.8V external bus. any ideas?
