KVM support for PowerPC Book3e e6500 CPUs will be first introduced starting with the linux kernel 5.16+ and with the next version of QEMU, most probably v7.0. This great achievement is possible thanks to the support of KVM ( ) that allows the virtual machine to directly use the CPU without the need to spend time emulating it. Thanks to Fabiano Rosas, Cédric Le Goater and Zoltan Balaton (see discussion at ) it is now possible to launch virtual machines at nearly native speed with QEMU on our NXP T2080RDB development kit, that mount exactly the same CPU as in our laptop.

QEMU at full speed with KVM on the NXP T2080 CPU In case you want to help out carrying out this task, you can the effort and conatct us. For this reason we are evaluating to replace some of the components in order to get a more reasonable delivery time. The main problem we are facing is not finding each component, the problem is the estimated delivery we are facing that most times is six month or more. While ACube Systems is looking for 22 missing components contacting various distributors, we at the Power Progress Community, are trying to help searching these components.

Powerpc software archive update#
The financial target of this new campaign is 12500 euros (around 14128 USD).Īt the beginning of December 2021 we received an update about the required electronic components that are still missing. The CE marking means that the manufacturer or importer affirms the good’s conformity with European health, safety, and environmental protection standards ( see Wik ipe dia). The campaign we launch today has the goal to finance the pre-certification and CE certification, a compulsory requirement for any electronic product being sold within the European Economic Area. However, we still have the plan to carry out the hardware tests immediately after production, and right after that, we will publish an updated version of the motherboard schematics on our GitLab repository. This is most unexpected as we thought we would be ready by now. We will strive to do anything required to achieve the final goal: providing the community wit h the most powerful, fully Open Source, and production-ready PowerPC laptop motherboard.Īs soon as the prototypes are ready, we will transfer the money collected from the campaign targeting the Hardware Tests to ACube Systems, the company we selected in this challenging journey to make a PowerPC notebook.Īt the moment, we are on hold on the production of the three prototypes because of still missing electronic components. We are very happy to have found such a generous contributor, his support will benefit the entire PowerPC and open computing community. Thanks to another significant donation made by Wiktor Glowack, the previous donation campaign to finance the Hardware Test reached its goal on the 27th of January.
