Hi. I am using Ubuntu ARM as testing platform on a QEMU emulator. The emulator has 256MB of RAM, but I'm wondering: what are the minimum requirements for running Ubuntu ARM? (CLI only)

A:
You may have to just try it, if they have jeos for arm start with that, if there is an existing already built boot image, start with that and apt-get remove (and purge) stuff you dont need to get a smaller image, then start trimming the memory requirements down.

Assuming you mean "what's the minimum RAM it will run in", you can set the RAM that qemu provides to the emlated system with the -m option. Keep halving it until the system won't boot or becomes unusably slow, then double it one step back.
Of course, it also depends what command-line applications you want to run: gcc will take hundreds of megabytes if it wants.
