PPC port volunteers?

Submitted by epr on Sun, 01/23/2005 - 09:05.

Accoording to the poll, there is enough interest in a powerpc port of JNode.
Who want's to work on a PPC port?

See the Porting guide for an introduction of what is needed. For the rest, please ask.

Having PPC hardware to test it is of course very practical.

PPC support

Submitted by rusev on Thu, 07/13/2006 - 16:52.

I know - current goal of project is stability, but not support of architectures....Eye-wink
Still I think that adding templates for PPC accordingly to the porting guide may be usefull because a work to support the arch may be done independently from bug hunting at it's very beginning.
One mor point is that PPC computer use something else than Grub bootloader.

I'd would like to participate this task also.
I have basic knowledge of RISC processors and assembler(as Linux driver developer), mainly ARM.
I also have collection of thematic manuals on PPC architecture , which I downloaded from
sites of various PPC implementors: Xilinx, Freescale, IBM.
If one is interested this man-s contact me please.

I would also be willing to help, but I don't know enough to write the kernel so I could probably only help with testing.
