Hello,
Can any one help me with embedded linux . I want to run LINUX based rtos in PIC microcontroller , specifically DSPIC30F2012-301/SP , can any one help me with this.
Freedom Regards and Wishes,

It can't be done!
Look for some tiny rtos like FreeRTOS.

First, looking at the data sheet of the controller it is a 16 bit system. I am not saying Linux cannot be run on 16 bit systems but its better to look for other rtos if needed.
Secondly, it seems to have 2 KB of onchip RAM and 24 KB on flash. Well the comments are obvious :-)
Lastly I am pretty curious why you would need a OS on such a controller? If it is badly needed you might have to look for really tiny RTOSes. Another option could be have a better controller attached to the system and run the RTOS on it (This will be the master) and you can interface this controller to it. This way you can design several other peripherals also. If this is not the intention then you might want to have a look at ARM based boards or even ATMEL AVR systems.
HTH.
