..okay, i'm now wondering if it'd be reasonably doable to create a bebox clone
<puck_>
looking at the schematics, i think the answer would be yes, with the exception of the handful of CPLDs
<PulkoMandy>
Probably nothing you can't reverse engineer
<PulkoMandy>
If you're lucky, they didn't read-protect them and they can be dumped

possibly the config is in an EEPROM that can be dumped, I always wanted to have a look but don't have the time
<mmu_man>
considering these can lose their content anyway

That would be for fpga, which workelike rameinternally. Cpld work more like eeprom so they don't need an external one
<PulkoMandy>
But I don't know whicheis used in the bebox

I love the BeBox... and from a retro standpoint i'd love to have one. The price though never justifies the purchase. Haiku doesn't even run on it :-(
<kallisti5[m]>
2k usd buys a lot of cool modern tech
<kallisti5[m]>
puck_: funny story.. there was a guy looking to make a modern baby arm-based BeBox
<kallisti5[m]>
I helped him out for a bit. I mis-spoke on arm. It was the Minnowboard x86 intel atom
<puck_>
the CPLD is also not really necessary in this case, it's mostly glue logic for memory<->I/O bindings

[haikuports/haikuports] Begasus 9270c10 - photivo, don't depend on static library libexiv2_xmp (only available in the devel package (#8574)
<Guest120>
kallisti5[m]: can you make a BeBox with a MiSTer ?
<puck_>
i don't think the MiSTer can do PPC emulation quite that speed yet
<puck_>
s/yet//
<puck_>
(probably never - you could probably fake it with a faux-hw emulation, but that requires MiSTer project infra i suspect won't happen)

At that point you may as well just run qemu…
