NOTE: This Index belongs to hardware differ to the x86 - archicture. If you search themes relating to this architecture, device-drivers, microchannel, microkernel (OK, mk is running on various systems, but it based a different kernel tree), realtime or SMP, please have a look under the device driver section of this Index. |
| Alpha Linux |
|
Linux Alpha Port - This home page provides information on Linux running on computers using Digital Equipment's Alpha 64bit architecture. It hosted also the Linux/Alpha FAQ and give detail information on supported mainboards and booting process. Supported mainboards architectures: E66, EB64+, EB164 (all systems based on the 21066, 21064/APECS or 21164/ALCOR should run Linux with little or no modification) |
| Linux on AP1000+ |
|
The Linux/AP+ Port is concerned with porting Linux to the AP1000+ and to add appropriate multi-processorextensions to support parallel programs. The work bases on SparcLinux. The AP1000+ is a distributed memory multi-computer. Its built by Fujitsu and is in a similarclass to the CM5 and T3D systems common in parallel supercomputer labs. |
| Arm Linux |
|
The ARM Linux Port supports following architectures:
|
| Embedded Linux |
|
ELKS - The Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset ELKS currently only runs on PC's. The ELKS kernel image needs about 120K for RAM and a full running system should require 256K-512K. Linux is used as the development platform for ELKS at the moment. SH7718/08/02 - high performance, cost-effective, and highly integrated 32-bit RISC microprocessors for embedded applications. HITACHI claims to have Linux run on their SH-3 Series processors. Linux/Microcontroller - port of the Linux 2.0 to systems without a Memory Management Unit. At present, only Motorola MC68000 derivatives are supported. VMELinux - Linux for VMEbus embedded systems |
| MIPS Linux |
|
The Linux/MIPS Port:
SGI/Linux SGI/Linux is the port of Linux to Silicon Graphics hardware. It currently supports all Indy models (R4400, R4600, or R5000 MIPS CPUs). In the long term, we would like to see more extensive SGI platform support. Ports to newer hardware like O2(TM), OCTANE(TM), and Origin(TM), and even to old hardware like R3000 Indigo(TM). DECStation Linux Port to DEC's DECStation series of workstations and servers based on the MIPS CPU's. These include the R2000-based 2100 and 3100 models, the R3000-based DS5100, the Personal DECStation 5000/2x workstation models, and the DECStation 5000/xxx server models. Every effort is also being made to support those models which can have the R4000 CPU upgrade module fitted, and to uncover sufficient hardware documentation so we can support the lesser-known DECServer 5400 model (which has a QBUS instead of TurboChannel)!Deskstation rPC44 (R4400 100 MHz CPU clock, up to 2 MB L2 cache, 5 free EISA slots). Cobalt Qube microserver, the Cobalt Qube 2700 microserver ia a network server based on a superscalar RISC controller. |

|
| Linux on PDAs |
|
Linux on PDAs Linux/PalmPilot- The Silver Hammer Group Ltd. is currently working on a Linux port for the PalmPilot. Brutus, (Itsy) - a low-power, high-performance handheld computer developed by Digital's Western Research Lab and Systems Research Center in Palo Alto. It offers roughly an order of magnitude more computing power and memory than a PalmPilot, enabling demanding applications such as speech recognition. SIBO-Linux - port of the Linux Kernel to Psion's SIBO (SIxteen Bit Organiser) architecture Series 3, Series 3c, Siena - NOT Series 5. CL-PS7110 Linux port - for handheld computers based on the CL-PS7110 chip, like the Geofox One(From Geofox Ltd.) or the Series 5(From Psion Computers, PLC) TurboTortoise - a linux system, small enough to fit in a pocket |
| Linux on PowerPCs |
|
The PowerPC Port
PPC/Linux, - native Linux running on the PowerPC. Support is already in place and working for PReP, PowerMac, CHRP, Amiga Power-UP and Motorola Embedded MBX boards (look under embedded port). The Powermac Linux Port: The Linux for Power Macintosh project aims to produce Linux kernels for PCI-based Power Macintoshes. For extended information onlinux-pmac, visit this sit e. Linux BeBox Port The BeBox is a computer that was once manufactured by Be Inc. Linux/APUS Port Amigas Phase5's PowerUp hardware will become part of the generic Linux PPC kernel. |

| Raid Devices |

Linux supports Raid 0-5 combining the harddisk partitions into one logical device in such a fashion as to fill them up evenly, one chunk here and one chunk there. This will increase the throughput rate if the partitions reside on distinct disks. If you want detail information "Software Raid" and the differences betwen raid-level 0 up to 5, so have a look at my local copys of raid related documentation:
