What makes the system stand out, from say a Atom based PC?
As you said, PCI Express, *actual* low power and probably higher speed
-all cpus mention are faster than the Atom at least in relative terms.
The SoC design means less components on the board, so smaller sizes
might be achieved.

I'm having a problem with ~100% CPU load on MPC8xx when calling
pthread_cond_wait.
Running strace, I get:
futex(0x10040d5c, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
.. and this call is inifinitely repeating, which explains the high load.
I'm running Linux 2.6.26-rc2 (not n
I'll answer myself, since I just found the solution to the problem -
with help from 'kos_tom'

for our target.
The system we're developing is based on the Adder port by Scott Wood, which is
also missing th
Just in case anyone feels like flaming about this post, I allowed it
because I thought some of you may feel inclined to provide some technical
advise, enthusiasm for someone else building PowerPC systems. If you
object, then just ignore the post ...
