I hate to sound too discouraging, but I'm pretty sure that there's no way that you're going to be able to fit an EPICS IOC onto a machine with such limited resources.    Even running as a portable channel access service is unlikely.

Here, for example is the size of the example IOC application (on a different architecture, but I expect the sizes to be roughly the same):
   text   data    bss    dec    hex filename
1245536  32176  65024 1342736 147d10 bin/RTEMS-uC5282/example
And that's before any run-time memory allocation.

Treating the device as a 'network attached device' to an IOC running on a more capable processor is really the best approach, I think.

I want to run the IOC inside ADAM-5510(Advantech PC based data acquisition module,do google or http://www.advantech.com/products/ADAM-5510/mod_1-2MLE35.aspx) which consists 16 bit processor and Datalight ROM-DOS.I could have accessed the device I/O(it consists several Analog/digital input/Output modules which can be accessed by sending ASCII commands through RS232/485) using asyn by running the IOC outside.However,the module provides the facility to program outside application,hence, thought it will be nice if I can build my IOC inside without any fieldbus delay.

Also, the mail address in your email seems to be invalid, which could be
another reason for not getting mails ;-)
