How do you get to be an Amiga Developer in 2025?

Hello!

I've loved the Amiga since 1989 and have lots of gear in my music studio to make my X5040 into my DAW, as well as a modified A600 for sampling via a Megalosound sampler for recording new material.

Also I have pretty much every type of Amiga emulation hardware available including a RPi based laptop because I've always wanted an Amiga laptop. I have a Steamdeck to run Flowerpot for a mobile OS4.1 solution, and I love my Analouge pocket to be a portable Amiga music player and to show people demos,etc to name just a few.

At any rate, I have this cool idea for a card/software package for the X5000. It's to be in conjunction with another developer outside of the Amiga platform, but will use their same development hardware. I'm trying every avenue to accomplish this with A-Eon/Hyperion but don't seem to have any luck so far.

Also I'm keen to be a betatester for the OctaMED V8.1 porting effort to OS4.1 as I'm really super excited to integrate this into my studio setup.

Any advice/help would be extremely appreciated!

Hello!

Thank you both for the replies!

@nbache Thank you for the link! I was planning on using Python from the SDK for the software side of the project 

@MagicSN1 I wanted to register as a developer with A-Eon because I need to build a Xorro or PCIe card to add an FPGA for the X5000, and other NG Amigas,  after the prototype phase. Hyperion said I just needed the SDK for making drivers and software, and to contact them if I needed deeper OS access.

My other goal is to be a betatester for the Octamed V8.1 to OS4.1/PPC code, as it's an Amigakit product with A-Eon as the parent company, but no word on either front. I'm posting here in hopes that I might get some feedback.

At any rate, really appreciate the software and compiling advice!!

Best Regards,
