industrial coldfire board apparently running aros68k and licensing issues

[XDelusion]

If that's the case then I'm happy with my 80Mhz 060 and OS 3.1 running with Magellan II. Aros is lacking too many basic features that an OS needs (I think if it as Gem with eye candy), plus it would be dog slow under such speeds.

"it runs as a 68k Amiga at about ~74mhz or so"

Not particularly impressive.

Port AROS68K to Coldfire AND recompile other software and this might be useful.
Then emulation (of the 68K) would only be necessary for some software (what could not be recompiled).

Very cool! I know it is slow, but very cool none the less!

And yes, I'm sure with more work, things could be fleshed out, improved upon, and sped up, but it always requires time, help, and patience, and that is sometimes the tricky part.

Sorry, didn't mean to dog your efforts.

I can tell you a bit about the project. In fact I can tell you everything about it. I'm the guy who did it.

In regards to speed, I did it really fast and in my spare time. In raw performance it may not be so impressive but if I was going to optimize it could be much faster.

Having a job takes away from the time to tinker on it.

But I agree that porting over 68k Aros to run on ColdFire would be beneficial.

Also note that the ColdFire V4 chip is running at 200mhz and the emulation is a little less than half its speed. If it were a faster chip the emulation would also be faster.
