Web-Based m68k Assembler Editor :programming:assembly:jan2023:

At https://asm-editor.specy.app/[1] you can find an editor, assembler and (simple) m68k emulator that let's you code assembly projects in the browser. Maybe this develops into something like https://8bitworkshop.com[2] is for 8bit machines.

Crowdfunding for m68k support in the Mold linker :llvm:oct2022:

Adrian Glaubitz wrote on the Debian m68k Mailing list:

There is a new linker called "Mold" [1] that is being developed by Rui Ueyama, one of the core developers of LLVM [2].
Rui has said in a discussion on Github that he is accepting donations [3] and that he is willing to add m68k support to Mold if we can raise $1000.
I have already started a crowdfunding campaign in the German a1k.org Amiga forum and we have already collected $250 [4]. If we can get another $750, Rui will start working on m68k in Mold.
So, if anyone is willing to support this effort, please go his sponsoring site [5] and make a one-time donation. If you have made a donation, please let me (Adrian) or Rui know so that we can track who has sent money to support the m68k backend.

Gentoo Linux for m68k machines reborn again :linux:sep2021:

The advanced Linux distribution Gentoo[1] has been reborn, current Stage 3 tar-balls are available at https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/[2] (select `m68k'). Gentoo is a Linux distribution aimed at experienced Linux user that like to have full control over their Linux system. This new Gentoo Linux port has been made possible by the new m68k system support in Qemu (with larger memory support) that permits easier building of binary packages for m68k architectures.

The RUST programming language gets m68k support :rust:programming:sep2021:

Thanks to Adrian Glaubitzs work the m68k backend for the RUST programming language[1] is now making it's way into the official repository as a Tier 3 supported architecture. As more and more linux software (Firefox, libsvg, topgrade, ...) and parts of the linux-kernel are written in Rust, this is a very good development as the m68k machines will be able to enjoy modern and secure applications:

Rascsi - turning an Raspberry Pi into an SCSI device for m68k machines :macos:scsi:feb2021:

The RaSCSI is an open source project that turns a Raspberry Pi into a SCSI target device (or SCSI host) for older machines. It supports "emulating" hard disks, CD-ROM, SCSI-Ethernet networks cards or even SCSI graphics cards. It currently targets m68k Apple Macintosh machines, but also supports other systems (X68000, Apple ][ etc).

The homepage is at https://rascsi.com[1]

Quote about Sinclair QL cross-compiling:

cross compiling is also relatively hard, because the QL filesystem has some "metadata", so you can't 1:1 crosscompile things... you need to somehow postprocess executables. or have a special header...
which then emus can load
so it's a similar problem to mac68k resource forks
or something :)

Video Recording: A chat with Nick Desaulniers on compiling the Linux Kernel for m68k with LLVM :llvm:linux:video:

In this chat we've discussed the "ClangBuildLinux" (https://clangbuiltlinux.github.io[1]) Project. This project builds the Linux-Kernel with the LLVM compiler infrastructure. Now that Min-Yih Hsu has created the m68k backend for LLVM, it might be possible to compile the Linux-Kernel for m68k targets with the modern LLVM compiler infrastructure.

Nick Desaulniers explains the "ClangBuildLinux" Project, the reasons for building the Linux Kernel with LLVM, issues found in the Linux-Kernel through the LLVM code checker. Min-Yih Hsu joined in the chat to give information on the LLVM m68k backend.

This video explains and demonstrates the QEMU user mode and how to setup an Linux m68k development environment that can seamlessly be used from an amd64 host.

With this environment, it is possible to write scripts that execute a mix of native (amd64) and emulated (m68k) commands. It is also possible to start the m68k environment inside a Linux container using systemd-nspawn.

QEMU user mode is a great addition to every cross development toolbox.

Hardware fix for the ZZ9000 graphics card and new firmware and tools :amiga:aug2020:

The ZZ9000[1] graphics card from MNT (revision R-1 and R-2) has a design error that shorts the 1V8 and 3V3 supply voltage rails of the ZYNQ module, causing the ZYNQ module to overhead.

In his blog article "The first cut is the deepest![2]", Stefan Reinauer explains how he found and fixed the issue.

MNT has published a document on about the fix[3].

In addition, the MNT ZZ9000 Firmware 1.7.0 Beta 2[4] is now available along with a new version of ZZTop[5] (AmigaOS tool for ZZ9000 diagnostics).
