| PowerPC emulation status. |
| The goal of this file is to provide a reference status to avoid regressions. |
| |
| =============================================================================== |
| PowerPC core emulation status |
| |
| PowerPC CPU known to work (ie booting at least Linux 2.4): |
| * main stream PowerPC cores |
| - PowerPC 603 & derivatives |
| - PowerPC 604 & derivatives |
| - PowerPC 740 & derivatives |
| - PowerPC 750 & derivatives |
| - PowerPC 405 |
| |
| PowerPC that should work but are not supported by standard Linux kernel |
| (then remain mostly untested) |
| - PowerPC 745 |
| - PowerPC 755 |
| |
| Work in progress: |
| * embedded PowerPC cores |
| - BookE PowerPC |
| - e500 core (Freescale PowerQUICC) |
| * main stream PowerPC cores |
| - PowerPC 601 |
| - PowerPC 602 |
| |
| TODO: |
| * embedded PowerPC cores |
| - PowerPC 401 |
| - PowerPC 403 |
| - PowerPC 440 |
| - PowerPC 460 |
| * main stream PowerPC cores |
| - PowerPC 7400 (aka G4) |
| - PowerPC 7410 |
| - PowerPC 7450 |
| - PowerPC 7455 |
| - PowerPC 7457 |
| - PowerPC 7457A |
| * original POWER |
| - POWER |
| - POWER2 |
| * 64 bits PowerPC cores |
| - PowerPC 620 |
| - PowerPC 630 (aka POWER3) |
| - PowerPC 631 (aka POWER3+) |
| - POWER4 |
| - POWER4+ |
| - POWER5 |
| - POWER5+ |
| - PowerPC 970 |
| * RS64 series |
| - RS64 |
| - RS64-II |
| - RS64-III |
| - RS64-IV |
| |
| =============================================================================== |
| PowerPC microcontrollers emulation status |
| |
| Implemementation should be sufficient to boot Linux: |
| - PowerPC 405CR |
| - PowerPC 405EP |
| |
| TODO: |
| - More PowerPC 40x microcontrollers emulation |
| - PowerQUICC microcontrollers emulation |
| |
| =============================================================================== |
| PowerPC based platforms emulation status |
| |
| * PREP platform (RS/6000 7043...) - TO BE CHECKED (broken) |
| - Gentoo Linux live CDROM 1.4 |
| - Debian Linux 3.0 |
| - Mandrake Linux 9 |
| |
| * heathrow PowerMac platform (beige PowerMac) - TO BE CHECKED (broken) |
| - Gentoo Linux live CDROM 1.4 |
| - Debian Linux 3.0 |
| - Mandrake Linux 9 |
| |
| * mac99 platform (white and blue PowerMac, ...) |
| - Gentoo Linux live CDROM 1.4 - boots, compiles linux kernel |
| - Debian Linux woody - boots from CDROM and HDD |
| - Mandrake Linux 9 - boots from CDROM, freezes during install |
| - Knoppix 2003-07-13_4 boots from CDROM, pb with X configuration |
| distribution bug: X runs with a properly hand-coded configuration. |
| - rock Linux 2.0 runs from CDROM |
| |
| * Linux 2.6 support seems deadly broken (used to boot...). |
| |
| * PowerPC 405EP reference boards: |
| - can boot Linux 2.4 & 2.6. |
| Need to provide a flash image ready to boot for reproductible tests. |
| |
| TODO: |
| - MCA based RS/6000 emulation |
| - CHRP emulation (not PowerMac) |
| - PPAR emulation |
| - ePPAR emulation |
| - misc PowerPC reference boards emulation |
| |
| =============================================================================== |
| (to be completed) |
