The PowerPC port
|
||
|
|
================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PowerPC was the first non-x86architecture for which a port of Haiku was attempted. The initial
|
||
|
|
target was the (then recently released) Mac Mini, but of course the BeBox was in everyone's mind
|
||
|
|
as a possible target for this port.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This port went as far as starting the kernel, but then difficulties in implementing the Mac Mini
|
||
|
|
PCI bus driver stopped it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Later on, some work as done on adding support for the Sam460ex development board, after a donation
|
||
|
|
of one to one of the Haiku developers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Recently, the lack of easily available and affordable PowerPC hardware has reduced interest in this
|
||
|
|
port.
