Yes, they claim they are using a Freescale QoriQ P1013, and that is e500v2 based and features a very non-standard floating point unit.
The MorphOS development team has been quoted as saying that no other e500 core except the e500mc would be compatible with that OS.
And it is quite a step from the 603 cores used in Amiga accelerators.
It will be interesting to see how this works.

MorphOS support is very unlikely, as beyond the FPU issue, that would still require RTG.

But Amiga OS4 might be made to work on the device.

While I do like having real big fat board for Classics, (few of mine friends yet have it) it would be elephant in Fiat 500.

Also, MorphOS and AMigaOS 4 teams spoke no word of it, without software side, its just piece for museum or AmigaHistory
