AmigaOne Alive?

[Kathyone]

I am currently negotiating with Hyperion to provide a new amiga motherboard or using an existing or brand new design.
I want Hyperion to eliminate the need for a ROM, or I'll have to add a new one to the board design. This will slow things down.  However, flash ROM won't be much of a problem.
I want to use a dual core set-up.

Hyperion was foolish to make it one board specific.
They now say on their website that they will work with you to port the OS to a new chip if necessary. I was thinking of AMD. The chips are well supported and have a future.

Dammy,

I have never had the chance to look at the AROS internals although I am familiar with the effort from the beginning. I have been associated with the Amiga from 1987.

I am a trained Assembly language, c, c++, and Java programmer with 24 years experience.

I have a PPC design that can use Amiga OS 4 with little or no porting needed.

The AMD might be better with AROS but that is something I cannot comment on without being familiar with the internals.

I also have an alternative OS that is even smaller, faster and lighter than OS 4 or AROS.

Embedded developers know it well.  They already finished an AMiga port some years ago.  That is all I will say at this point. You can research it and you will know who it is.

Hey defender of the faith,

Good for you. Let me just say I have worked with the amiga as a developer and OS tester since 1987.
I am a computer programmer by degree with specialty in Assembly language programming and embedded systems.

I already have a patentable design that can be prototyped in 30 days or less, guaranteed.

Let me just state that I can use either the PPC or the AMD with minor design changes since my processor and memory are on upgradeable cards that just plug in.

The design form factor is a standard and well known but smaller and more modular than the present Micro ATX form factor you are looking at.

Let me just say that it is an embedded SBC or single board computer that doesn't need a backplane for power to save cost. I will just license the embedded OS I mentioned on another forum, but for fairness I will restate that it already has an amiga port done. NO waiting. It will run the amiga programs now.

I must work out an agreement and then I can tell you more. Hyperion must give me an answer. I contacted them by e-mail and contacted others to get their phone #.

That shows I'm serious.  I had an agreement and approval for my design from the SBA in 2000.  Then I moved to Canada.
I am still a US citizen, and always will be. Just a permanent resident of Canada.  My husband is from Six Nations reserve in Ontario Canada.  I am a native NY from Buffalo, NY.

Getting this done is easy with the proper cash and contacts.
I can get one and I have the other.

That is enough about me for now.

To answer your question, no problem but without the code you can't ROM anything.

Hyperion must provide the licensing. It isn't a technical problem but a legal one.

Otherwise you would just be a hacker. I'm not. I'm a professional programmer that plays by the rules. The Golden Rule and all that.
