Wine emulator arm drivers#
What i suggest is to work on Iyonix PCI PC Cards (there is a lot of them already available on the market) it would be a simple way ‘cause the PCI PC CARD need a driver to be managed from the host OS, have indipendent RAM, clock sync and can use Host devices if allowed by the Host OS, this may run windows or linux with an RISC OS/ARM based application that remaps calls to obtain the effect of WinRisc project that is of to run PC apps in RISC OS GUI, with no speed limits.ĥ) May run good guest OS like BSD or LinuxĦ) This work could be reused to build drivers for Floatting point PCI cards very usefull in scentific, engineering, networking applications.The Raspberry Pi can do a lot of things that your PC can do – but it’s not designed to do everything. yes Iyonix ARM use SIMD too, i know but it is missing many other extensions).ģ) Wine project is a system calls remapping project that first need a INTEL PROCESSOR, second need a system that is able to support most of the windows system calls… wont be a good idea (specially about prestational level)

We where not able to have Pentium based PC CARDS because the Pentium bus was enormously extended compared to what a RISC PC may be able to manage.Ģ) PC Emulator was a nice, but small, intel 80186 processor emulator (at not more then 12 Mhz), nowadays intel processors supports 3 Ghz clock, MMX, SIMD, 64bits system bus and more extensions that would be very hard to implement in a software emulation for ARM processors (and if you are interessed into play games, games use a lot of those extensions). there is a lot of issues into PC emulation nowadays…ġ) The Risc OS PC Card project was based on a capability of ARM processors of to “use” a “slave” 2nd processor to execute “unknow” istructions (and by the way the PC Card reach the AMD 586 not just the i486 processors). I think it would be much cheaper, as well as probably more compatible and performant, to simply get a cheap PC and a KVM. To me this seems like a very expensive way to get windows software running on a RISC OS machine. But then someone would have to write the software to interface such a card with RISC OS. You can get relatively cheap PCI cards with almost complete PCs on them. Now that is a much more realistic option. In the initial opening discussion I did give 4 options, one of them being the hardware one (i.e a physical PC type CPU). However software like barely crawls along on such old PCs.

Even the most modern RISC OS hardware does not stand a chance at emulating even a seven year old PC at full speed. Most of the other components of a PC are a lot more advanced and complex than the RiscPC’s hardware, too. JIT ARM->X86 can be done (Virtual RPC as mentioned)Ī modern x86 CPU is about 80 times as fast as the 200MHz StrongARM it emulates. call trapping may be complex in respect of Unix-> RISC OS call translation NOT simple, No support for kernel level operations, potentially slow.

Hideously complex even for simple apps, potentially slow, in addition ReactOS code hygiene and stability leaves a lot to be desired. Vista even more so.Ĭode would be Slow compared to running native, no real interfacing between apps on Host and guest OS.Ĭ) Third party port of ReactOS to ARM, and x86 emulation – trapping calls. There are presumably a number of soloutions, some of the disadvantages are outlined.Ī) Hardware card, and drivers to interface into the Iyonix architectureĮxpensive,would still need users to have an official license, Windows can be fussy about running on anything less than a full PC chip-set.
My question is thus, what would it take to get older Windows and DOS software running on the current generation of RISC OS based systems? The RISC PC, included an option for a hardware i486 based card. This PC emulator could run Windows3.0 (just) Package that provided an emulation a PC chipset in software. The A3000 era of RISC_OS based systems, had as a paid option a software This is a BIG wish list item but suggested in the hope that it might
