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 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 - PowerPC 405 - 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 TODO: - 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 TODO: - MCA based RS/6000 emulation - CHRP emulation (not PowerMac) - PPAR emulation - misc PowerPC reference boards emulation =============================================================================== (to be completed)
