Yes, once some usable PowerPC 405 board will be committed, the next step is to implement BookE PowerPC. BookE PowerPC is the core of all PowerPC 440 UC (and more). > Which is the most similiar PPC processor already supported? > What are the differences (in term of things needed to support it)? It's quite near the PowerPC 405, for the instruction set but have a specific MMU model. There is work in progress for this MMU implementation. It will share some concepts with the PowerPC 405 MMU, in fact. User-mode emulation should already be OK, with some fixes in the CPU definitions. Full system emulation will need more work. In one hand it shares a lot of things with the PowerPC 40x. In an other hand the actual microcontroller are more complex than most PowerPC 405. All this is in my job queue ! -- J.
