    ...or even a standard FPR based FPU ;-) (therefore to bring for instance Debian to e500v2 a special effort has been started recently)

    Edit: Ah, I see now that your post was not referring to Freescale's e500v2, but to Applied Micro's Titan, which of course has a standard FPR based FPU. My bad.

    Android port for Power Architecture at Google Code:

    http://code.google.com/p/ppcdroid/

    "Mentor Graphics completed the Android OS port for IBM using the IBM 460S core [...]. In addition, the set-up included an AppliedMicro Canyonlands board and a Z11 graphics card from XGI."

    Good article on that:

    You mean there's a connection between LimePC's PPC-based* PieBox UMPC device and some random x86 Linux distribution named "Pie Box" besides the similarity in name?


    *Edit:
    PieBox is being offered based on ARM: http://www.limepc.com/piebox.shtml
