| Good luck, a 68050 CPU is not so important need that it is possible to speed much up i think.
liboil contain many speedcritical and often used funcs in audio and Videoprocessing.libdirac and maybe ffmpeg use some funcs
http://library.gnome.org/devel/liboil/unstable/ch01.html
there is asm optimized code for CPU and SIMD in and C code. If this can do direct in FPGA Code speed lots up.
its possible to put pars on stack or put in chipset register, if the FPGA cant address all memory now.
then a number in a chipsetregister can start the FPGA to processing it.
liboil for 68k can compil, and work a little, but i dont know how a .exp file is create.gcc 3.4.0 and gcc4.4.0 do that not.when i search for exp it seem a Visual C++ feature.
thats the part of the makefile that is build for GCC
liboilarray.c: liboiltmp1.la Makefile echo '/* This file is autogenerated. Do not edit */' >liboilarray.c.tmp echo >>liboilarray.c.tmp echo '#include ' >>liboilarray.c.tmp echo >>liboilarray.c.tmp grep '^_oil_function_class_' .libs/liboiltmp1.exp | \ sed -e 's/ DATA$$//' -e 's/ .*//' -e 's/.*/extern OilFunctionClass &;/' >>liboilarray.c.tmp echo >>liboilarray.c.tmp echo 'OilFunctionClass *_oil_function_class_array[] = {' >>liboilarray.c.tmp grep '^_oil_function_class_' .libs/liboiltmp1.exp | \ sed -e 's/ .*//' -e 's/.*/ \&&,/' >>liboilarray.c.tmp echo ' NULL' >>liboilarray.c.tmp echo '};' >>liboilarray.c.tmp echo >>liboilarray.c.tmp grep '^_oil_function_impl_' .libs/liboiltmp1.exp | \ sed -e 's/ .*//' -e 's/.*/extern OilFunctionImpl &;/' >>liboilarray.c.tmp echo >>liboilarray.c.tmp echo 'OilFunctionImpl *_oil_function_impl_array[] = {' >>liboilarray.c.tmp grep '^_oil_function_impl_' .libs/liboiltmp1.exp | \ sed -e 's/ .*//' -e 's/.*/ \&&,/' >>liboilarray.c.tmp echo ' NULL' >>liboilarray.c.tmp echo '};' >>liboilarray.c.tmp echo >>liboilarray.c.tmp cmp liboilarray.c.tmp liboilarray.c || mv liboilarray.c.tmp liboilarray.c Last edited by bernd_afa on 20-Sep-2009 at 09:07 AM.

how viable is to use/buy OS 3.9http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=47&products_id=153 |
BBRV quote from March, 2008: Quote:
Some years ago we bought a few hundred copies of AmigaOS 3.x from Petro (can't remember which one it is -- need to check in storage -- probably 3.5). This should be enough to get Thomas started. |
I don't know how to interpret the above, but it indicates at one point they were thinking of using any version of OS3.x to get started. I say "any" because BBRV did not seem to be concerned about which version it was.
Biggun quote on prior page: Quote:
We would like to do this if we could license the OS 3 Kickstart/Operating system. |
Hmm...that quote shows a different concern beyond just having the copies of the OS.
AmigaPhil quote from May, 2008: Quote:
Amiga Inc. has opposed the "Amiga Forever" trademark deposed by Cloanto. They are also in negociation. |
I really think they should contact Cloanto and any others that have current status information on the safest way to proceed. If that post is accurate, then I think Cloanto can likely offer the best advice.
To further support that Cloanto is the way to go...

Fleecy: We are looking into this but no decision has been made. It is likely that we will work with Cloanto since they are the only ones with an established and legal product in this area. |
If AI's own words aren't enough to indicate the path here, well...

| I understand that hardware is ready for testing, while there is no OS to utilize it (OS 3.9 can be a start, with drivers rewritten to utilize new h/w). AROS 68k does not exist, Linux 68k is not yet discussed. Another Amiga loop _________________ Future Acube and MOS supporter, fi di good, nothing fi di unprofessionals. Learn it harder way!
