Looking at the TI web pages, I don't see any MMU stuff on the TMS
chips, so it might be difficult to run Linux or a similar OS on them.

(Of course, it's possible to do the MMU stuff safely in software.  But
it costs an awful lot of speed.)

A well designed system must take people into account.  . . .  It's hard to
build a system that provides strong authentication on top of systems that
can be penetrated by knowing someone's mother's maiden name.  -- Schneier
