AmigaOS 4 on PPC 405, STB, V-Dragon.

[asian1]

From Amigaworld.net:

"During the Planeta Amiga show Andrea Vallinotto held two conferences, one aimed to the users and another one aimed to the developers. Andrea made the announcement that OS4 is already running on the 405PPC processor from IBM. This processor is used mainly for HandHeld devices."

There is a Set Top Box device based on PowerPC 405.
V-Dragon CPU from Culturecom (HK) is also based on PowerPC 405 and used in millions of Point Of Sales machines, e-textbook, and network computers in China. This CPU is supported by IBM and promoted by HP / Hewlett Packard.

Is it possible to run AmigaOS 4 on STB / V-Dragon CPU?

From Culturecom annual report, March 2005:

"CPU core technology, the indispensable part to enhance the
development of mass market computer. Culturecom has been
successful in the past years to integrate CCG and CPU core
technology to develop the “V-Dragon 1610 CPU”. Subsequently, it has cooperated with IBM to launch the “V-Dragon 3210 CPU”,forming the V-Dragon series brandname. V-Dragon series will be widely used in all kinds of Chinese embedded devices such as the e-textbook, Tax/POS terminal and Chinese network computer. In the future, the Group will utilize other CPU technology to develop more “V-Dragon Series” CPU while possessing its own mass market CPU core technology"

I'm not sure how many times we have to keep saying that "OS4 will only run on what Hyperion want it to run on", before you get the message? :-)

IIRC Fabio has AROS running on the AHT set top box... any good?

Is it possible that asian1 stops using the same post template?

@Bloodline,

Small correction, it's Amiga Inc not Hyperion. :-)

The project failed because the US Government "Export Controls" rule.

From EETimes:

Processor developer Transmeta Corp. said U.S. technology export controls forced it to cancel a previously agreed sale and licensing deal with Culture.com Technology Ltd., a subsidiary of Culturecom Holdings Ltd. of Hong Kong.
The deal, which covered the sale of Transmeta’s Crusoe x86 processor and the licensing of Transmeta’s Efficeon 130-nm processor technology was valued at more than $15 million when it was announced in May 2005. Under the terms of the deal Culturecom was set to make and sell Efficeon-based products in China. Transmeta (Santa Clara, Calif.) said the decision to cancel the deal was mutually agreed upon because it had become clear that U.S. export control approvals could not be obtained in time to meet Culturecom’s schedule. Transmeta added that the two companies were still committed to working together.

I think asian1 is just a 'news' bot with a posting engine attached to it somehow, with a very limited repetoire.
