Upcoming Mirari PPC motherboard

@all
Thank you all for the kind words regarding our Mirari project. At the moment as most of you know there are boards with the ExecSG guys to work on the kernel. For now this has some delays due to (e5500 - X5000) multicore stuff they are working on. We will wait and see when there is progress to be mentioned. Besides that MorphOS developments are going strong. NVMe drivers have been optimized and Harald has created the onboard audio drivers with 192Khz recording functionality. Frank Mariak did the Qoriq onboard network driver next to all his hard work to optimize MorphOS 3.20 for running on the Mirari. I try to update the blog https://mirari.vitasys.nl/the-first-rebirth/ as much as possible.

It's really great what you've achieved here as a small community. And yes, I too have been following developments around Mirari.

I have always been interested in audio/NVME driver development, and it seems that the MotphOs team has done a great job here. As I could see in your videos, MorphOs is already running splendidly on this board.

Of course, Mirari won't be able to replace my X5000, but it's remarkable how much support it's getting, and I think that will continue in the long term. There is currently zero driver development for the hardware on the X5000.

It will probably take ages until AmigaOS 4.1 boots for the first time, as there is simply a lack of support and developers. Personally, I consider this machine to be perfect MorphOS hardware, which you have really succeeded in creating.

Would it be possible to break the blog into multiple pages? (One per month, perhaps?) It's become so big, with so many large images, that it takes a long time to load, and I can no longer view it with Odyssey as it runs out of memory trying to load all the images.

There are some very promising benchmarks inside.
In czech language. I will translate and will post somewhere

Great read, as always !! Thanks a lot.

@Arthas

As far as I know there is a plan or wish or idea to release a version of the Mirari with a more power processor too. wasn't it the QuorlQ T2081? Or was it the Cyberdyne T800? mmh can't remember.
I will likely wait for the version with the more powerful processor.

Also I'm waiting for some news from ACube .

@sailor

Thanks!

@Skateman

That's great progress!!

I'm not sure if I will wait in line for the first version released or wait for the one with a better processor. I remember you announced that maybe a more powerful version will be released.

Great work and thank you and all involved for developing the system!

English version of Mirari benchmark is on IntuitionBase

@sailor

The article was an interesting read! I noticed a small little typo in the 3rd paragraph. T2021 instead of T2081.

@Tuvok
Thanks! Corrected.

I know this question has been asked, multiple times.

How far are we out from being able to start purchasing and building our own?
