Btw, anyone with a schematic + synthesis software can write software for the board.

The use of m68k AROS is being free of copyright restraints.

It would mean that Minimig/FPGA-Arcade can be offered as a works-out-of-the box solution. In contrast to the current situation where you need access to a classic Amiga to extract the ROM(s). And ofcourse the hassle to do the extraction.

AROS m68k ROM + AROS Wanderer = Complete open source solution for Amiga?

Is it the AROS-20110331-amiga-m68k-system/boot/aros.elf 1081644 bytes long that is the ROM image needed?

"file:"
AROS-20110331-amiga-m68k-system/boot/aros.elf: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable, Motorola 68000, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

@deadwood, What's the difference between these files?
aros-amiga-m68k-rom.bin
aros-amiga-m68k-ext.bin

Can these AROS 2x 512 kB ROMs be used on an Amiga 500 ?

Considering it only has a 256 kB ROM from start.

Also does Wanderer work alright? (not perfect)

No.  AROS 68k requires an '020 or better at this point.

Guess FPGA-Arcade will be very handy now .. ;)

Though an 68000 version would be useful for A500, Minimig, etc.. Just a compile option away?

Is there any free C compiler that runs under AmigaOS on 68k?

Is there any software that calls every AmigaOS call and can verify its correctness?

An example could be to openwindow(), capture screen and compare with an reference picture.

I concurr with desiv. AROS 68k makes it possible to offer an "turnkey" solution for Amiga. Ie you plug in power + video to the board and it just works(tm).

Is usage of the board completly dependent on binary (AGA) releases by yaqube? (or someone else)

No I meant exactly what I said, try it on a real Amiga. That is not things being simulated in any manner.

I suggest a page where one could sign up for a board by your own. That way you can  take the manual administration out of the loop.
