From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 01:13:04 -0800 From: Rick Kwan Message-Id: <199902120913.BAA14181@coruscant.lightsaber.com> To: linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org Subject: platform specs (was: PReP spec) Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: Thanks to Ken Robert's reply to my PReP spec query, I found the PowerPC FAQ, dated 27 February 1997 at http://www.mot.com/SPS/PowerPC/library/ppc_faq/ppc_faq.html and from there, found my way to ftp://ftp.austin.ibm.com/pub/technology/spec In this FTP site, the PReP documents are dated Oct 28, 1994, but there is a "chrp" directory there with documents dated Nov 20, 1995 thru Oct 2, 1996. In my sporadic reading, it does indeed appear that CHRP has superceded PReP. However, the above CHRP specs seem either pretty old or pretty stable. Or am I looking in the wrong place? >>From the FAQ, I also made the journey to Yellowknife, at http://www.mot.com/SPS/PowerPC/teksupport/refdesigns/yk.html The design manual is dated 98 Feb 20, and clearly states that it is a PowerPC/CHRP reference design. A list of current CHRP machines would indeed be interesting, if for nothing else, to show the breadth and flexibility of the architecture.
