Free ibm powerpc software for linux

PearPC is an architecture-independent PowerPC platform emulator capable of running most PowerPC operating systems.

This release fixes an ugly partition mapping bug which prevented PearPC to boot OpenDarwin. But the fix might cause regressions: so if your image is no longer booting and you can compile pearpc yourself, please talk to the pearpc-devel mailing list.

Installation:

-Get the Mandrake Installations CDs from a near mirror.
-Read the getting started document first.
-Join the club.
-Make sure you have configured with a big harddisk (3 GiB should do) and a CDROM with the Mandrake 9.1 PPC CD1 inserted. Select a 15 bit video mode. (ppc_start_resolution to 1, 4 or 7)
-Boot and you should get the yaboot menu.
-Press enter and wait.
-At some point, a graphical installer will show up.
-I wont partition your disk for you so you have to do it on your own
create 2 partitions: Apple bootstrap and a Linux onecontinue install.
It will ask you to insert another CD. Click "Change CD" and choose a different .iso or simply insert a different CD. Continue.
-Something bad may happen in the end of the install. Nevermind.

While the CPU emulation may be slow (1/500th or 1/15th, see above), the speed of emulated hardware is hardly impacted by the emulation; the emulated hard-drive and CDROM e.g. are very fast, especially with OS that support bus-mastering (Linux, Darwin, Mac OS X do).

Because the author has only access to a little-endian machine, PearPC will most likely only run on little-endian architectures. This shouldnt be hard to fix and the author would fix this himself if he such hardware. (You can donate some big-endian hardware to get this fixed!)

Equally, PearPC will probably only run on 32-bit architectures. This shouldnt be hard to fix either. (You can donate...)
A lot of unimplementated features are fatal (i.e. will abort PearPC).
Timings are very still a little bit inaccurate. Dont rely on benchmarks made in the client.

PearPC lacks a save/restore machine-state feature.
No Altivec support yet but being worked on.
No LBA48 (but LBA). Currently no support for hard disks greater than 128 GiB. Disks > 4GiB are not tested very well.

MplayerXP is a branch of the well known mplayer (http://mplayerhq.hu) which is based on the new (thread based) core. MplayerXP project was designed for x86 architecture but was ported on DecAlpha, SUN, PowerPC.
The new core provides better CPU utilization and excellently improves performance of video decoding. Main goal of this project is to get monotonous CPU loading during movie playback.
This project is a media player for *nix systems. It was designed for Linux, but works on other unices like: FreeBSD, QNX.
MplayerXP project was designed for x86 architecture but was ported on DecAlpha, SUN, PowerPC.
Enhancements:
- synchronized libloader with mplayerhq
- updated ffmpeg codecs (fixes some lacks of prev release)
- added support for new codecs
- fixed segfault in MPC demuxer

This is the first public release of PoMP. We develop an algorithm which minimizes the power consumption for multimedia data playback. We implement the algorithm in mpeg2dec. PoMP uses library of mpeg2dec.

You have to install mpeg2dec to execute PoMP. PoMP controls the disk spindle via standard ATA-4 command. At this moment, we only release Linux binary. The disk scheduling algorithm of PoMP v.0.1 is optimized for IBM microdrive DMDM 10340.

PoMP is tested with IBM micro drive attached via IDE interface(ATA-4). You can type the command as follows. Assume that Microdrive is /dev/hde.

$ ./mpeg2dec -b 1024 /mnt/microdrive/santafe.mpeg /dev/hde

Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance.
It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and TCP/IP networking.
Linux was first developed for 32-bit x86-based PCs (386 or higher). These days it also runs on (at least) the Compaq Alpha AXP, Sun SPARC and UltraSPARC, Motorola 68000, PowerPC, PowerPC64, ARM, Hitachi SuperH, IBM S/390, MIPS, HP PA-RISC, Intel IA-64, DEC VAX, AMD x86-64 and CRIS architectures.
Linux is easily portable to most general-purpose 32- or 64-bit architectures as long as they have a paged memory management unit (PMMU) and a port of the GNU C compiler (gcc).
Linux has also been ported to a number of architectures without a PMMU, although functionality is then obviously somewhat limited. See the uClinux project for more info.
Enhancements:
- Add flags to frequency -> auto/fixed
- Document (struct iw_quality *)->updated, add new flags (INVALID)
- Wireless Event capability in struct iw_range
- Add support for relative TxPower (yick !)
- Change the way we get to spy_data method for added safety and hostap
- Remove spy #ifdef, they are always on -> cleaner code
- Allow any size GET request if user specifies length > max
- Start migrating get_wireless_stats to struct iw_handler_def
- Based on patch from Pavel Roskin :
- Fix kernel data leak to user space in private handler handling
