Boot Logs of ExecSG Kernel on AmigaOne G3 and G4

[hnl_dk]

Have you seen this (G3):

[HAL_CalibrateTimer] Frontside bus frequency: 133 MHz
[HAL_CalibrateTimer] Internal frequency: 599 MHz

Have you seen this (G4):

[HAL_CalibrateTimer] Frontside bus frequency: 100 MHz
[HAL_CalibrateTimer] Internal frequency: 400 MHz

So it's not the same CPU module as they use on the AmigaOne-XE (G4) :-D

Exec on Amiga One G3 :

PPCBoot 1.1.6 (Oct 25 2002 - 12:31:12)

How will it look for the future???

Will it be renamed to U-boot, or will it continue as PPCBoot?

I sure hope it will continue as PPCBoot :-D

They probably changed the name before it's no longer PowerPC dependent.

I mean why not call it ARMBoot?

It should not be called ARMBoot, because:

1: The original name of the project was 8xxROM - not ARMBoot.

2: ARMBoot was made on basis of it's sister project (PPCBoot).

3: The AmigaOne PPCBoot was made on basis of PPCBoot 1.1.6, and not ARMBoot!

4: ARMBoot is no longer ARMBoot, but has merged with PPCBoot to U-Boot.

The G4 that we run on was a MPC 7410, which is one of the modules we have here for the XE but not the one that is going to be on the final version. I wasn't sure how high this one goes, so we left it at 400 MHz to be sure the CPU's not fried :destroy:

Nice to hear that it is capable of running other CPU modules :-D

Do you know if it is capable of running standard CPU modules normally used in Apple Mac?

I have the question :-)
If it is able to use standard Mac CPU modules, then I might buy the AmigaOne-XE.
If it is only able to use special AmigaOne CPU modules I think I will go for the AmigaOneG3-SE as I do not need more right now (money money money)
