[XenPPC] Question on CellBE, PS3, etc.

2007-04-13 Thread Fang Zhe 

Hi, all

I'm wondering if XenPPC can work on Cell BE(As it includes a 970
compatiable Core), and ...what about PS3? Is it possible? Or anybody
already working on it?

Thanks a lot.

Yes, it could work on Cell with not a whole lot of effort.
Some register remappings, IIC and IOMMU work and you'd get just about  
everything else for free.




and ...what about PS3? Is it possible?


PS3 already comes with Sony's Hypervisor, so unless you can get _it_  
out of the way, it would take substantially more work and it would be  
similar to the noHV work that was done for G5s:

nope, but I know quite a bit about Cell and would be willing to help.
