Hi all,

I am new here... i'm a programmer and I just joined. I've been reading posts here for quite a while, thought i'd sign up and join in the conversations.

I became a bit interested with the Amiga while working on projects at work. We work with some Freescale stuff, and I had to read up on the architecture.

I look forward to being part of the community.

Welcome to Amigaland...

From your other thread it sounds like you could be someone who will be very much appreciated in our strange little community, just remember though once your in there's no escape back to reality...

Why thank you, Franko. Glad to be here!

@Cod3r

just wear your thick skin while here, most of us are friendly.

I see you're having a problem with your avatar. Avatars are 120x120 pixels and 5 KBytes maximum.

Welcome to the world of amiga :)

@Cod3r

Welcome Cod3r, enjoy your stay!

Q!

"I am home"

@Cod3r

Welcome also.

I'm interested in what Amiga architecture you had to read up on. Being that I can only see Freescale relevant to the later NG PowerPC Amiga machines. Was it original, PPC CPU cards, or AmigaOne+ type boards?

@Cod3r

Welcome, new faces and new ideas always welcome in Amigaland

Welcome!

@Hypex

I assume just the CPU.
(unless some HW like Efika is in use for Freescale PPC SW R&D)


Anyway, nice to have more modern Freescale PPC competence around.

@sundown

Thanks for welcoming me! I am not easily offended. In this world you cannot be. Plus, my intentions are pure, i'm just here to share ideas and learn more. Doubt that will start a ruckus ;)

I do need an avatar... next project!

@Kicko

Greetings and thank you!

@QuBe

Thanks, new friend!

@Hypex

Thanks for the welcome :)

In regards to Freescale stuff, the company I work for uses some Coldfire and CPU32 (native 68k instruction set compatible) microcontrollers in some of our products.

I had to read bucketloads about all of them to familiarize myself with the architecture. Since I work in low-level programming, unlike most application coders who use C or other higher-level languages, I have to use assembly and that requires a more in-depth knowledge of the target hardware. And I started on MIPS and other RISC-based designs.

So to answer more directly, I never touched a real Amiga in my life, and I never worked directly on any official Amiga-compatible product.

@sicky

Thank you for the warm welcome!

@pavlor

Thank you, new friend!

@Templario

Thank you! I have a bit more to learn about the platform before I can make Amiga software. At least worthwhile software...
