anyone has got some documentation or steps for the cross compilation.
Cross compilation is a big subject, you'll need to google
other docs for that. The nano-X config file allows quick
cross compilation by setting the target architecture, which
selects a cross-gcc compiler etc.

Nano-X will run fine with no OS, you'll still need gcc and a C library
though. Once you get any program to run without an OS on
the target, compile up nano-X and it should be fine. There
are options in the config file to turn off file system read/writes
which are required by some image loaders (none of
these features will be present).

If you've got a C compiler and library for the processor, it
shouldn't be a big deal. You may need to write or modify
the screen, kbd and mouse drivers.
