The other person is correct it will depend on your application. But the minimum size you can get away with is 4MB for flash (2MB for the kernel, 2MB for shell, utilities and your applications) and 8MB for SDRAM. If your application is large or you are going to manipulate or transfer large quantities of data 8MB of SDRAM is probably not going to be enough for uClinux.
