Interestingly, a MMU-less systems seem to have a small revival this year, with several ARMv7-M microprocessor lines getting added, and a return of the h8300 Linux port that was removed in 2013.

To try to address this we've recently created http://nommu.org and we're slowly populating it with content and a mailing list and wiki and such. Alas, the bitstream stuff has been eating all our time recently but once that's on its feet we'll be advancing both projects in parallel. (The purpose of nommu.org is to support all the nommu linux variants, including cortex-m and coldfire and so on. The superh revival is http://0pf.org stuff. We _don't_ want j2 to overshadow h8000 and armv7-r and such on nommu.org, but while j2 is eating our brains it means we're not posting much to nommu.org yet.)
Linux for nommu _is_ interesting, there just hasn't been a place to go to talk about it that wasn't tied to a distro full of leftover packages from the 1990's. We want to push nommu support into buildroot and openembedded and make it _not_ be a strange esoteric thing requiring unusual expertise.
Working on it...
