Hi,
I'm looking for someone to either shoot me down or to indicate whether this is plausible.
Could it be possible to write apps to run on a Cortex-M4 micro? Storing the ELF files on an SD card, reading them into RAM as and when necessary then executing at the entry point. Could these ELF files link to a common library which the main application on the Cortex-M4 uses (almost like a common API for the platform) as well as any ELF files on the SD card?
It all seems pretty feasible but I'm probably missing something huge.

Hello weblar:
Since you posted in this space I guess you are referring to a Kinetis MCU with Cortex-M4 core.
I guess your idea is achievable but I am not aware of such implementation. The closest project I know about is uCLinux in K70 platform by third party emcraft. The details are in their page:
Linux BSP for Freescale TWR-K70F120M
Sorry if my response is not concise, that is not a typical use case of Kinetis MCUs.
Regards!
