I hope we can tempt some of the developers here to help us get AROS running on the AmigaONE

The AROS team is also looking for anyone who can help us continue our work on the "Amiga Classic" platform.

Thanks

@AROS team

Well done - I guess this means that it can Self Build now?

Yeah, I decided that this was big enough news to register and post this news item.

Oh, and yes

What is the next step ?

I just want AROS to be installable for my P4. Since I won't be getting an AmigaOne real soon(Lite aren't until late 2004).

The potential for AROS is enormous. Everybody has an x86 computer. Add SciTech's SNAP technology, basic SBLive support, port a couple of NIC card drivers(realtek and 3com) from FreeBSD and voilà. And you'll get more Amigans then what Genesi and Amiga Inc will ever get.

Why did I learn RPG and COBOL instead of C?

What makes you think that? The MicroA1 (aka AmigaOne Lite originally) is planned for release early 2004.

The Micro-ATX AmigaOne is planned for later in 2004 however. Maybe this caused the confusion?

@ AROS team

Good to see good progress is being made and also good to see an interest for supporting AmigaOne hardware.

We've had gdb for years

You can install AROS on your P4, Infact I installed it on my P4 on Friday... you have to have a spare hard drive though, as AROS likes the whole thing to itself at the moment

We don't really need Snap, as we can use VESA2.0 (The PPC can't use VESA2.0 AFAIK)...

We have AHI, and the SBlive drivers are ready to be compiled for AROS, but Our PCI drivers don't support Bus mastering at the moment, so the SBLive driver won't work

Yes, you should have learned C, and C is not that hard to learn, it's just very rigid

There has been a long standing desire to have AROS on the AmigaONE, since it is the goal of the AROS to allow anyone the oppertunity to run an "AmigaOS" on any hardware they chose to use.

The biggest hold up we've had on the A1 is the lack of developer support, that we have had.

I hope that some people on this site with "insider information" regarding the Hardware (or more accurately the Firmware), might be able to help us.

Welcome Bloodline! I wish you and your team continued success on AROS!

Yep, it's going to be in the first quarter. I can't wait for the review on AmigaWorld! *hint* *hint*


@ Bloodline
It works great in the MS Virtual PC app using an ISO. Unfortunately, I don't have a drive to give to AROS ATM.

IMO nothing is hard to learn in life. But I just don't like C. I'll have to learn it eventually. lol

Keep up the good work because I want the Amiga on my P4 too.

In what way? Have you contacted Eyetech/Hyperion? I'd assume that you (the AROS team) already have an A1 therefore you would have access to the A1 MLs, perhaps you could get help from one of the linux guys.

wow ... this is so weird... i was only thinking about this last night... although ,i think about it most nights. I've recently been downloading books on C++ and i redownloaded the C++ IDL mapping :) so i might start a little dev work soon :) *snigger*

It could be as late as that. remember we done have a good record when it comes to dead lines, plus any development should be expected to run late, as not many run on time. My first large programming project was exactly that.

Mike, at the melbourne OS4 show it was said that the MicroA1 board would not be released untill Q2/Q3 2004 but was mentioned it could take longer!

Let's face it, if Alan sells a whole lot to China, we won't be first in the queue.

Big Thx to the AROS Team!!!

What exactly is now possible? Is it possible to compile all that Window/Linux gcc programms to AROS now without changing the source?

See ya

poop...

AROS looks cool...

From ann.lu:

In the Past, to develop for AROS you needed to have gcc running in Linux and then compile the programs for AROS... now you can develop and compile program for AROS, using AROS itself as the host OS!

No, you can't compile Windows and Linux program in AROS without changing the source, since AROS works in the same way as AmigaOS rather than the way Windows and linux work

I have sent an Email to Eyetech requesting a board and developer support for AROS. But have not yet received a reply.

AROS is woefully short of "Hardware Hackers", If we were provided with a Board, one of the Team would have to learn about it which would take time. I would prefer an experienced A1 develoepr to join the team and help get AROS booting using the UBoot Firmware.

DaveP has recently been making positive noises about AROS on th A1, maybe he would like to help

Thanks.

I would help, and I did offer to donate towards getting AROS a board.

Dave.
