    Oh no! Andreas, what do you think?
    If someone want to step up and pitch in ten grand or so, we can start slogging through the manufacturers datasheet and compile the massive amount of detailed info need just to start.

    But, I'm not playing that game with MY money. How about yours?

    I don't think jcmarcos referred to designing a new board but rather to using existing eval boards in order to build new Power Architecture based computer systems.

    Oh! I get it now. He's never priced a PPC evaluation board.
    Remember the $4000 I was quoted for the FreescaleHPCN-MPC8641D (Matt said he got his during the period they were 'discounted' to the oh so affordable price of $2000)..

    Why aren't PPC evaluation board commonly used to build practical systems?
    I'll avoid posting this in the caps I want to use, because they're too damned expensive!.
    The odd thing is I got the impression (after a lot of work) that if I was serious about producing something with their product, Freescale would have given me the layout files and design info.

    That's kind of why I was curious about jcmarco's comment about building a computer.
    Semiconductor manufacturers don't want to sell you motherboards (those are design examples - proof of concept). They want to sell you the components to populate motherboards.

    This is where we need someone as foolhardy (in a kind of admirable way) like Treavor who is willing to take a potential loss on a vanity project.

    I really DID think he meant "build a computer". Believe it or not I've been around long enough for that to really mean to me "design, finance, build and sell" a computer. I've been part of that kind of operation before and you can take a royal shellacking on it.

    I think you were right when you first mentioned that we'd end up with something as expensive as the X1000 (which I like, but will never buy).

    This is where ARM starts to look seductive. Remember the last ARM evaluation board I mentioned to you? $200!
    Find me a $200 PPC board (let alone a manufacturers evaluation board).

    I like my arm 800ghz coby kyros which l just got for under 150US$. I say later with the old stuff but we may have missed porting to mobile devices. As for X1000...it's a hugh move but hey it's something. AOne had it's run at long awaited supporters too. Right now whatever hobby works for whoever.

    Oh common man. Of course you can complain. You come from the State I live in, You know our country men. Americans have refined complaint to an art form.
    You can complain, but who'll listen?

    That's where you have to respect the contributors (which now that I think about it - I can't consider this post to be a part of)..
    Sorry.

    The ARM system sounds interesting. <$150! Neat.

    Oh yes I did! I wanted also to point out my frustration about how much easier is to make you own computer with other CPU architectures... It's a pity PowerPC is so expensive and hard to source. Maybe every PowerPC provider sucks?

    Quote:

    rather to using existing eval boards.


    Well, that's how the Pegasos started. You buy a single eval board, and blatantly copy it for you new computer. In the process, you will be tempted to add some bits you want, and remove others you don't.

    (I can feel the audience's boredom at rading this - OK! :-D)

    Quote:

    Sure, but I know these toys are expensive. BUt why on earth do I have to stand that a Beagleboard costs just a hundred bucks? It actually IS an evaluation board, for god's sake. Why can't we PowerPC lovers have the same treatment? And yet again, how the hell does LimePC do what they do?

    Quote:

    the $4000 I was quoted for the FreescaleHPCN-MPC8641D


    Many people would devote those four grands to anything else but hardware you are not going to see in the market. By the way, you mentioned ten grand, are you saying that's enough to make a new computer out of nothing (plus an eval board to copy, of course)?

    Quote:

    I was hoping for someone to stand up with those ten grand. It's Christmas after all, the time for miracles. Oh boy, I've just realized the world is in crisis.

    And most of them, if you ask for less than a zillion units, just don't hear you. Legitimate, but hurting, don't you think? Then, a different provider treats you better, and you end up building a different computer. You also wave goodbye forever to the first provider, giving them your "best" wishes.

    Oh, fantastic: Has he (or better say, the people he has convinced) some ten grand left for us? By the way, you weren't around back ni the age when Genesi WAS MorphOS, were you.

    Quote:

    Nope, there's chips out there for something cheaper. Remember the original Efika. Only, this time, with the MPC8610, or something similar. But then, some crook asks you four grand for a single unit. Can you keep any desire left to build a computer around that CPU? Go figure. Jeez, freescale should be giving away eval boards for their products!

    Want a surprise? That's exactly what freescale thought: Instead of making PowerPC (your key market) accesible for developers, you switch to ARM. Of course people who've been there for years like Samsung and Texas instruments are sissies you can easily defeat.

    Find me a $200 PPC board (let alone a manufacturers evaluation board).



    The MPC 5125 eval board is 119 US$ ( http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=TWR-MPC5125-KIT&fsrch=1&sr=3 ), but is intended for usage with the Freescale Tower system. While the 5125 is probbaly not what you had in mind, I still rate it one of the most interesting ppcs out there. Sure, it is very low end, but has a very competetive price tag and MorphOS on a e300/400 runs okay.
    But situation is, nobody comes around willing to invest making a 50 US$ low end board happen and the MorphOS-Team would probably be not too euphoric about an e300 again. But if you wanted to do a actually sellable ppc system the 5125 would be pretty high on my list. The 86xx ship unfortunately has more or less sailed, next chance for a modest powerful ppc system will be with the Altivec enabled QorIQs, but it will take a litle time until they arrive.

    No Zylesea, theMPC 5125 eval board wasn't even close to what I was thinking off, but you've got a point. There are a few low cost evaluation boards, they just don't include the kind of processor I like to use.

    OK! jcmarcos! You did mean what I thought you meant. That's cool.
    I'll let you in on something that's not really a secret, several of us have repeatedly examined this idea.
    Well, not just examined, really more like established contacts with company reps, obtained price quotess, did at least some preliminary design work.
    Andreas is more familiar with this than I am. I spent time on inquiries with I BM and Freescale and went so far as to start the design of an MPC8640 based system (with an ATI SB600 Southbridge).
    One of the few people I quizzed for feedback was Andreas (which is why I threw the question at him in this thread).
    Another MorphOS contributor (who can talk to you himself or Andreas can reference) still has regrets about not following through with an 8610 based design.
    I myself still think it might be a good idea (a new PPC motherboard) and I can see two possible sources for the processor (Freescale and Applied Micro), but there are some qualifiers.
    Price is the biggest one. I gave up my design when G4 Mac support was announced. An MPC8640 design would have some advantages, but the ultimate clock speed would be lower than the G4s. And how are you going to compete with the price of Macs that are practically being given away? Ultimately, once you crunch the numbers, you realize that the price of the X1000 and Acube's products aren't as overpriced as everyone complains.
    Low scale production of custom boards like this is expensive.
    The other qualifier (and I'm sure there are more) is performance. While a few PPC processor are now being introduced that again have started pushing performance up, its still hard to beat the performance of the G5 (and again these systems are dirt cheap).

    Think carefully about this,. It would be great to have a new system and the new options that would offer us (like PCI-e 2.0), but in practical terms- does it make good economic sense to invest a fairly large amount of money to produce something that will cost several times what an older platform (that would competently perform about as well) would? What is your market? Is it larger enough that you're not going to take a bath (financially)?

    Genesi and Acube have pursued other markets than just the MorphOS market when developing new hardware. Can you do that? Are there the resources and time necessary to pull this off?

    And its going to be a lot of work. Are you willing to commit that much of your life to this as it will obviously take?
    All thoughts that have gone through my mind and still I find the idea tempting.

    Anyone elses input on this would be gladly accepted. I don't know what the answer is. It would be nice, but how to do it, where to find the financial resources and how to organize it are all questions that still vex me.

    Anyone?

    Of course not. I've taken out the rest of your valuable comments, because I've assimilated them easily. In fact, nothing of what you say is a surprise.

    In the end, when something doesn't get done, it has to be because of something.

    So sure, my comment about "making our own computer" can be reduced to an act of sarcasm.

    Final note: This is a cold, ungrateful world...

    This statement was made under the (improper) premise that you were referring to using existing eval boards :-)

    At least they're giving the CPUs away for free for evaluation purposes ;-)

    I'd call your last post a fine exaple of why you were one of the few people I ask advice from. Scary, now that you mention it, it probanly was $1500 (still about 33% higher than it ought to be, but I would have paid that).

    You see jcmarcos, here's is THE man on the post with total recall, who has done a lot of research on topics related to our market. And no, I don't think you were being sacastic. I feel that way every time I see a new promising introduction. Then all the economics courses I took in the past kick in, and I reach the same (somewhat depressing solution) - not practical. For now the MOS development has the right idea.

    BTW - Andreas, thanks for throwing the Digikey reference back at me, I may have to buy one of those just to play with it (if they're available).

    That development board by THTF/LimePC for the Freescale Tower System is not *the* MPC5125 eval board, which is rather the ADS5125 by STx (2000 USD). The same as with the MPC5121e: There's the ADS5121 ("Hellrosa") eval board by STx for 2000 USD (or 500 USD for an older revision) and there's the much cheaper MPC5121e development board by THTF/LimePC for the Freescale Tower System.

    Sorry, haste fequently makes my posts unclear. Of course I only mentioned some of what I'd done. But you were familiar with both the proposed 8610 system and my work.

    Plus you're much better than me a remembering timelines and specific details (ie the price Matt paid for his evaluation board).
    So, what I meant was for a general overview of the period these ideas were still floating around/under consideration, you might be better at providind a holistically consise summary.

    What I have, is a less accurate memory, and a lot of technical print outs, notebooks filled with specific lists of pin functions, equivalents between Uli and ATI Southbridge components, and notes related to a huge variety of specific comsiderations (too long to summarize here).
    As well as the beginning entries/files for circuit layout.

    In essence, I feel comfotable with the technology, but feel you are a better speaker/writer (even if english is my first language and a secondary one for you) than I am. I value accurate, concise explanations.

    LSI, maybe, depending on performance. And, yes, when I reread the paragraph mentioning Genesi and Acube I should have refered to not focusimg soley on "MorrphOS or AOS4" not just MorphOS.

    I thought about re-editting it for clarity, but I spend too much time making such correctiions already (I figured that eveyone would understand what I meant about not focusing on one market)..

    Thanks again for the input last night (which losely calculated would have beeen your morning). And, if I'm not mistaken you'll be receiving this fairly late on New Years Eve, so go have a beer (its traditional and its my birthday).

    Okay. Maybe the question shouldn't be "how" but rather "why"? ;-)
    Non-jokingly: The MPC512x is a very low-cost chip so I think whether to offer evaluation or development boards or systems based on this chip either for much or for little money is just a policy decision of the manufacturing company. THTF/LimePC obviously want to go for the cheap route and so they just do it. No magic involved. STx however seem to pursue quite another policy with their MPC512x based evaluation and reference boards and systems.

    > Funnily, that was the space I once though Genesi was in

    Yes, definitely:

    Actually, it was about noon :-)

    > its my birthday

    Happy birthday, mate. Go have plenty of beers ;-)

    Ah, I see. Thanks for clarification.

    Unfortunately, no announcement of specific AltiVec enabled QorIQ chips in 2010 :-/

    Just discovered my posts about Titan were mentioned in this thread, and nobody knew what I was on about. I didn't give the whole story so I'll explain:

    I attended a talk by Intrinsity at work where they talked about their technology and their involvement in Titan.

    The idea behind Titan was to use the Intrinsity Fast14 technology on a cheap PPC. By using Fast14 they could make the chip fast and low power but they could also save money by using a 90nm process.

    But, Titan wasn't an existing core with Fast14 added to it. It was a completely new core designed by Intrinsity under contract from AMCC.

    When Apple bought Intrinsity I suspect Apple wanted the engineers to work on their projects and pretty much paid AMCC to drop Titan.

    However since AMCC owned the design they could still port it to a different process, presumably without the Fast14 tech.

    Titan was a specific implementation of the core, it got cancelled, and AMCC started work on a new implementation on IIRC 45nm.

    So that why Titan was the core that was cancelled, but wasn't.

    --

    BTW The Fast14 tech is very impressive, it can pretty much double performance without increasing power consumption. Before they were bought, there were rumours of Intrinsity working on a 2Ghz Cortex-A9.

    I suspect the iPad 2 might be rather more potent than anyone suspects :-)

    It's a pity Apple scarfed up the technology.
    I had some suspicion that Apple's purchase of Intrinsity was behind the shift away from Titan.

    Have you got any idea how close the new 45nm processor is to the Titan design?
