AROS ARM Port?
« on: April 03, 2006, 05:29:46 PM »
Pity that this is now being talked about a year too late.  There was a small Chinese corp looking at AROS for their ARM based PDA in 2005.  But atleast now there is some effort being put forth on getting AROS ported to ARM arch.

Unless you can convince Amiga Inc to spend the cash to port 3.x and the companies who own the game rights to port to ARM, AROS is going to be the closest thing to a portable embedded device.

Porting AmigaOS to ARM won't let you play old Amiga games as you still need to emulate the 0x0 processor and the custom chips. Any OS that can run UAE can do that - so a PDA running embedded Linux with UAE on top would be a much cheaper way of playing all the oldies on a portable device.


Or Arm AROS with EUAE.  :popcorn:
