Do I have to get Linux running on my SORD M68MX now? (I actually planned to do this but unfortunately there seems to be a hardware issue and it seems to inside an irreplaceable ASIC :()
I followed you on github. I think you should be able to see my email address? If not the one on the 68000 fix commits in the kernel works :)
Do you only have a RAM expansion? If you have an MMU normal m68k linux will work for you. I have an a4000 running linux with an nvidia gpu ;) The drivers for the amiga filesystem etc all still work. If you have the…
This is very cool. I thought literally no one else was using/interested in the 68000 support in the kernel. It was actually subtly broken for a long time. I think the fixes I did went in to 7.0 or 7.1.. I have some…
The 68000 isn't very fast to start with and: To get the code to fit into memory the kernel is compiled with -Os and GCC makes some poor inlining choices (keeping a call to a function that writes a value to an address in…
Interesting.. I have some experience with the macintosh ROM from trying to fix up the EMILE bootloader for Linux (its boots like grub instead of being a macos app). Getting a recent GCC etc not to mess up calling stuff…
I plan to get this working on nommu mac at some point but I don't have one yet. I have a pile of 030/040 macs. Its not mentioned but this mc68000 kernel actually uses devicetree (like arm..) so its fairly portable. In…
And it really is on a MegaDrive as I only tested this stuff on a Japanese MegaDrive.
