Moving on
Project: Reggae on Efika (Multimedia)
posted by Grzegorz Kraszewski on 1st October 2011
As PowerDeveloper.org is now more focused on ARM architecture and Linux, I've decided to blog about my MorphOS related activity on my personal blog. I can be also found on Facebook, as well as on irc.freenode.net, channel #morphos. Reggae project is still active. Ports of MorphOS to PowerPC based older Apple hardware, made Efika significancy a bit lower however.

CRUX PPC 2.7 released!
Project: Port CRUX PPC (Operating Systems)
posted by Nik Mak on 15th February 2011
CRUX PPC 2.7 is now available. CRUX PPC is a port of CRUX for the Power Architecture® platform. It’s a GNU system with a Linux kernel and runs on Apple NewWorld (both 32 and 64bit) PowerPC, YDL Powerstation, Genesi PegasosII and EFIKA, ACube Sam440ep, IBM Intellistation POWER workstations and IBM Power Systems servers. CRUX PPC includes support for laptop-specific features, extended hardware support and server tools.
CRUX PPC 2.7 is, as usual, released via two different installation ISO: 32bit and 64bit. The 32bit version is based on a single lib toolchain instead the 64bit one comes with a multilib toolchain. These two versions share the same ports tree.

Project: Port CRUX PPC (Operating Systems)
posted by Nik Mak on 25th December 2010
It's available our first release candidate for 32bit.
Important changes are about IBM legacy RS6K 604e/604ev/604r. The support is officially removed as we do not have anymore a machine to test our ISO.
