Is there any real chance of seeing an OS4 beta running on the machine by then ?
Or maybe they could run UAE on top of linux ? its nice to see linux running on it but i think most people want to see some amigaOS stuff running on it somehow :/

The JIT used in UAE is a early version of the Amithlon-JIT (by Bernie Meyer)
and only works on x86. I've never heard of a PPC-port, so I assume you mean
the "normal" Linux-version recompiled fo PPC (without JIT).

Offcourse there are other JITs, but are they under GPL ?
And can they be included into UAE without rewritting big parts ?
The only thing I know is that Bernies JIT is the only one available for UAE,
and a lot of talk (but no actions) of redoing it for other CPUs.
UAE-JIT-PPC would be really nice especially for all those who converted to
MacOS in th lasr years.

To legitimize the readiness of the hardware.
It may be a bit premature to expect to see the AmigaOS running on the board, but before anyone makes any dire predictions why don't we wait and hear from those in charge.

Hmmm, I see that "Pianeta Amiga" are planning to show "a preview" (whatever that means) of AmigaOS4 in Firenze/Florence on Sept. 21-22.
If the same goes for this Gothenburg "event", it might not be as totally uninteresting as it first seems. I live in Gothenburg, but if I would want to see just a motherboard it'd still be easier to start a browser and watch it again... for the millionth time...

That's gonna be a very HOT september...
Message to Amigans from Italy, Belgium, Swiss, Spain, England, Deutschland and out there : consider coming to the AExpo Alchimie II !
This is not very far away from Spain and Italy !
English people : once in Paris, it's 2h30 hour by train !
German people : we come to Köln every year ! Now it's up to you to come and taste our wine while trying the Aone and the Pegasos !!

Do you think people will only go too Gothenborg because of the A1 (and eventually OS4)?
Then why did people attend last year?
I am quite sure that a fully working A1 with a working version of OS4 would attract lots more people (And media!) but I don't hope that would be everything people come for.
I really wanted to go last year but had some other (more) important stuff to do at that day, so this year I have put a cross in my calender and plan to be there, OS4 or not!

No, that was my point. And AmigaOS4 wasn't mentioned in this announcement.
As fas as this announcement goes, this is not another AmiGBG Show, but just a display of an "AmigaOne" motherboard. This seems rather pointless to me, unless AmigaOS is to be demonstrated running in whatever state it might be in by then.

So, there is a preview of AOS 4.0. In my estimation there will pass another 2 months
before the release of AOS 4.0 for the general public. Good show. Pretty well done
before Christmas shopping. Hope some people care.

I'd say it's not pointless in seeing it run linux. If nothing else, you will get a feel for how fast the system is, way more than just a hunch.
You will get some kind of understanding how the hardware works together, even if it's not OS4.
IMO, better to show it using linux, than nothing at all.

Well, for Linux lovers, looking at an AmigaOne would be ideal. However, I'm not a Linux lover, in fact, as some in the AROS camp would testify - I've had nothing but problems with it.
I'd like to visit the French show because I am consider myself an dispossed Amigan (along with the thousands of other Amigans that have been left out in the cold because of Amiga Inc's plans, and forced into MOS or AROS), and because I've never been to France and September is always a pleasant time of year (weather wise).

Indeed there are other 68k JIT-emu's out there. I'm a bit surprised you forgot about Petunia (the one that sits in OS4).
Benchmarks here:

In reply to Comment 33 (Henrik Mikael Kristensen):
I don't think Kronos forgot either Petunia or the one used in MorphOS, but neither of those is GPL, so they're going to be a bit tricky to implement within UAE without breaking UAE's GPL license. This has already been discussed months ago. To date, I haven't seen a definitive explanation on how these proprietary JIT solutions are going to be integrated into a GPL emulator.
If someone knows how it will be done, please tell us so that this dicussion can come to a conclusion once and for all.

GPL issues aren't necessarily that hard to get round, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to run GPL software on a non GPL operating system like Windows. I'm sure if Amiga Inc asked nicely then UAE would re-license the code for them anyway.

In reply to Comment 39 (Phill):
Yes you can combune GPL and non-GPL code if the non-GPL code is part of the
OS (which rules out an UAE-Petunia for Linux), but you would still have the
problem of geting Petunia to work in a way that is compatible with the way
UAE uses it's JIT.
About relicencing UAE: Thats what Bernie did for the parts he used in Amithlon
(very few) and even here he had to rewrite some stuff himself because he could
not get a licence.
Trying to get ALL authours of UAE to say yes (which would be neccesary) is just
as easy as drinking an ocean dry ;0)
You should also remember that this would be against the very principle of free
SW, that nobody should be able to use it in closed-SW for their on advantage.
And yes a JITed UAE would mean a slight advantage for OS4 over MorphOS.
This leaves these options:
1. Rewrite Bernies JIT to PPC (should be possible with a "bit" of work).
2. Rewrite UAE to access a "petunia.library" under OS4 (even more work).
3. Release a GPL-version of Petunia and add it to UAE (still a lot of work).
4. Live with UAE-PPC non-JIT. (how much AA-dependant SW do you really need ?).

Theres an AROS camp ? Holy crap ... nothing against AROS , i just didn't think there was a cr3w ! , probaly full on the same x86 whingers no doubt.
"I'd like to visit the French show because I am consider myself an dispossed Amigan (along with the thousands of other Amigans that have been left out in the cold because of Amiga Inc's plans, and forced into MOS or AROS), and because I've never been to France and September is always a pleasant time of year (weather wise)."
Dispossed Amigans ? Is that your excuse for not ever being part of the amiga community and if you ever did own an amiga pirating all the software and never upgrading so software developers could advance ?
And by left out in the cold you mean PPC , and let me tell you now that wasn't amiga inc's idea or even cbm's ( HP Risc IIRC ) ... The PPC idea was thanks to the boys at Phase 5 and because the only modern-ish software we have now is PPC ( thanks to people like hyperion ) and theres no PPC emulator on X86 we're kinda stuck to it. Amiga's plan suites people like you down to the ground , you can't decide what to support , soo anti PPC yet you support a PPC motherboard + OS just because its the *other side* , Amiga's idea is that it doesn't matter what CPU , hardware etc it is ... Perfect for those with the lastest *rebel* buzz word support attitude.

That may be true of UAE users who didn't buy Amiga Forever, but it
isn't true of Amithlon users, who all bought a bundle that included a
complete Amiga OS. (It isn't the fault of the purchasers if a part of
that OS turned out not to be licensed after all).
I think you will find that the vast majority of Amiga software running
on Amithlons is fully legal.
We are all anxious to dispell the image of the Amiga as just an old
games machine from the 1980s.
For those who do want to play A500 games, I believe all those on Back
to the Roots are legal.

Whats to say these Amithlon users didn't pay for theirs ... Seems theres alot of users that are willing to stump up the money for that but not a $50 coupon that's basically $50 already down on an os4/amigaone ..
Thing is X86 is the piracy platform of choice . Being cheap and standard theres no problem getting hold of any software for it , be it beOS pro or the latest windows game ... Even amithlon is up for the picking.
Give me proof half the people here screaming amiga inc are killing amiga have put their money where the mouth is in the past to support amiga and i'll say sorry , but it seems to me alot of people found their way into the *community* via ADF's etc and attached their worthless leech arse only to doubt everything offical and drive for a solution where they won't have to show their support where it hurts "their pockets !"
