As I've been craving for Amiga knowledge for some time, I've stumbled upon the Natami project : http://www.natami.net/concept.htm
They say the following :
How does the internals work ? Is it made as a common PC-compatible with loose cooperation between the SoC's CPU and GPU, or is it meant to be highly hardware optimized like old-school gaming systems ?
By the way, what comes first into the decisions made for the system ? Linux is first meant for security rather than speed, whereas the older AmigaOS was all about speed optimizations.
What choices have you made for the Pyra ? How did you manage that smoothness while keeping the secure Debian core ?
Is there any room for further enhancements ? I know that the NEON and PowerVR still have to be fully implemented, but other than that, what do we have to do to make it even faster ?
All in all, where did you have to trade speed for security or the opposite ?
They say the following :
I'd like to know how the Pyra is made as it's both a handheld console and a computer.That the AMIGA CPU could direct access GFX memory was still an advantage, to which others system only catched up later.
It took Commodore 6 years to release AGA while the PC world invented hundreds of workarounds to speed up their system.
While the original AMIGA was a complete integrated system where the CPU and Hardware were working together,
we see this today only in game consoles.
