The MorphPAD needs its own Thread:)

Heres a link to the discussion about it on other thread:

Thanks for helping bro.

I had my stuff deleted from the developer forums and everything:(

Maybe if you look somewhere you can get them back.

I was going to put an Efika into the back of a lcd tv

and designed the MorphPAD! you will be shocked at how much it resembles the IPad but its nice and white with a blue purple leds

That link is a joke:) seen the thing..thats like an robotic or automated stand still device not a Mobile MorphPAD.

Minator's link had an even cheaper one.

2nd core would idle under MorphOS anyway.

Stop wasting your own time posting here on MZ then and go offer the MorphOS Team a serious business proposition :-P
There you'll find the proper contact info: http://www.morphos-team.net/imprint.html

> MorphOS Mobile pre-installed

On the actual device or just on a USB stick or SD card like you suggested before?

If (and thats a really big IF) the MorphOS-team ever decides to port over to a different ISA and IF that happens to be ARM they will more than able to figure out what HW to support without the help of someone posting gibberish posts on forums.

On the actual device and on sd?

plus That other guys link was a single core 800mhz:) considering MOS cant do dual core im sure there will be a nice and white single core verion at about 1.2GHZ

So we need a fast Mhz Single Core chip?

Doesnt MorphOS take advantage of the second core in the dual cpu powermac etc????


If we have to have a single core tablet its goto be over 1GHZ and more memory like 2GB DDR2.

I will have a look around for a nice white tablet with 2gb ram and high resolution and the fastest cpu i can find.


Agreed?

Kronos,
Quote:

Yes correct....


New PPC cores are comming out for Tablets too.

But there usually only 400MHZ dual core.

Andreas saying we cant take advantage of the second core??

Wether it is PPC or ARM dont matter it can be ported its called programming:)


SO, IF WE HAVE TO MOVE TO A NEW CPU IN FUTURE THAT BETTER THEN BOTH ARM AND PPC??????? WHAT DO YOU DO THEN?

WE SHOULD LOOK FOR THE NICEST WHITE TABLET WITH HIGH RESOLUTION AND THE MOST POWERFULL CPU THAT CAN OR COULD RUN THE NEW MORPHOS-MOBILE?

OFFER IT WITH MOS PRE-INSTALLED AND ON CD OR DVD OR SD CARD?

WORLDWIDE FAST WHILE THE IRON IS HOT.

"WE" have nothing do to, cos "WE" don't write MorphOS....

No amount of YELLING is gonna change that.

What Kronos said + MorphOS isn't very suitable for a Tablet kind of device. It doesn't make sense. There are other ARM based devices here already, and more coming in the future, that would be much more suitable, but that's all theoretically speaking, since nothing has been communicated about any ISA migration at all, not to ARM, not to anything else.

> That other guys link was a single core 800mhz:)

As was yours. Both have the same single-core 800 MHz Cortex-A9 based CPU by Amlogic.

It's not like the presence of the 2nd core will do any harm. I just meant to say that multicore is not an outstanding feature for a device that's going to run only a single-core OS like MorphOS.

> Doesnt MorphOS take advantage of the second core in the

The 2nd CPU is ignored by MorphOS.

More memory because MorphOS is single-core only? I don't get that.

> New PPC cores are comming out for Tablets too.
> But there usually only 400MHZ dual core.

The MPC5121e that seems to be used in one tablet model is a single-core CPU. And for the new upcoming Chinese PPC chips we don't have any specs yet. Or have you?

> Andreas saying we cant take advantage of the second core??

Exactly.

Sacrificing backwards compatibility would make some things easier to port to.

Thanks alot for you input.

Sorry my caps stuck and i couldnt be bothered typing it out again lol:)

So we are going to wait for the new PPC chips from china? see what they are like.

then it should be alot easier to run MOS on it?

Morphos would be great for a tablet aslong as we can get the touch drivers and the battery life and contrast function etc isnt an Amiga type operating system better for all kinds of devices?

I think so:

Infact everybounty or software will be created for it.

we will all have the same MorphPAD with same specs etc so every probgram will work with eachother?

you could streamline the os with a dock and a more simpler user documents system like mymoorphos, my photos, my videos, my songs etc.

email, media player, games folder and internet browser.

I think it would be alot faster the Google Android lol:)

Of course it's always easier to avoid an ISA change, especially when backwards compatibility is so much dependent on architectural constraints like with MorphOS.

> we will all have the same MorphPAD with same specs

So there'll never be another "MorphPAD" with better specs? ;-)

Yes certainly in the future:)

But that wont be same kind of road map as Ipad:) or apple

The MorphPAD will last atleast 2 years before we all even think about upgrading.

And at a price of £199 people are going to be happy to sell there old mPad and get the new mPAD II?

Regards.

Please allow me to guide thee.

What does MorphOS run on?

Q: What hardware do I need to run MorphOS?
A: MorphOS is currently focused on hardware systems based on the Power Architecture and includes special optimizations for the AltiVec instruction subset.

More specifically, it runs on Mac mini G4 , eMac and Power Mac computers and systems based on, EFIKA, Pegasos I and Pegasos II mainboards. There exist also development ports to the Freescale MobileGT platform.

Freescale MobileGT

So there already exist some development for the Freescale PPC CPU like the Efika5K2:)

Basically it would be a Dual core efika with touch screen, ssd and 2gb ram built into a tablet computer.

Regards.

This statement on the MorphOS website seems somewhat badly phrased because the MPC5200B on the Efika 5200B *is* a MobileGT chip. What they actually mean is this:

"Dual core efika" you say? What would be the actual CPU in that device?

> MorphPAD.JPG

That's still Android, isn't it? Why not fake a MorphOS screenshot in there beside the obvious fake butterfly? :-)

Rubbish.

lol I dont think you got the ispiration like me:


That was just a copy of the tablet with a butterfly on it for you to grasp the idea of the MorphPAD.

I think the e300 or e600 core??? whats happened to them are they PPC?

Also just imagine a Coldfire 68K 266MHZ Tablet,,,,only kidding:):):):)

lol... Mysterius DragonPAD





[ Edited by amber-inc 18.08.2011 - 02:03 ]

e600

MPC7448 MPC8641 single core's upto like 1.3ghz


e300

MPC8358E MPC8360E upto 667mhz


Would the e600 work in a small tablet?

if not the e300 will do:)

What the hell is this all about? Im lost here. These things a pure junk.

> That was just a copy of the tablet with a butterfly on it

Yes, but since the main idea of the "MorphPAD" should be to run MorphOS on it the Android screen doesn't really help my imagination ;-)

> I think the e300 or e600 core???

The e300 doesn't exist as a dual-core chip, but the e600 core does. That said, an e600 based dual-core chip like the MPC8640D isn't suited for something like your "dual core efika" as it's consuming too much power.

> whats happened to them

There will probably be no new variants of the e300 core, and definitely not of the e600 core, and also no new chips based on existing variants of either core. The last chip based on e600 core was introduced 3 years ago, the (probably) last chips based on e300 core one year ago. In terms of non-automotive and non-industrial-control Power Architecture chips, Freescale is fully focussing on multicore QorIQ chips based on the e500/e5500/e6500 core range now.

> are they PPC?

Yes, they are.

> e600
> MPC7448 MPC8641 single core's

"Dual core efika" with a single core chip? You really lost me here.

> e300
> MPC8358E MPC8360E upto 667mhz

Not dual-core either. Btw, fastest e300 based chips run at 800 MHz:

https://morph.zone/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?forum=3&topic_id=7001&start=230

> Would the e600 work in a small tablet?

For MPC86xx to work in a tablet you'd have to underclock them severely, else they'd just be too power consuming for tablet use.

> if not the e300 will do:)

I already hinted you at a tablet with e300:

https://morph.zone/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?forum=11&topic_id=6775&start=129

In case you didn't notice by now, MobileGT has e300 core.

Yes a 603e core basically G3 and G4 compatible:) e600 is perfect:)

the fastest e300 can be clocked to 667mhz actually in single core configuration.

I only talked about a dual core chip before you told me about MorphOS leaving secondary core idle:)



The e300 is a nice chip:) at 667Mhz single core:) "it will do"

But we wann look at the "e600" its better and can be clocked at 1.7ghz in dual config

or upto 1.3ghz in single core config.


Which ever way it works the e600 is better:)


Regards.
