GCC for tha AMIGA...
Hi guys...
For the AMIGA fans out there...
Not sure if this is the right forum but someone has done a successful working port of gcc for the classic AMIGA A1200.
It contains a very large subset of *NIX commands and now AMIGA fanatics like me can include another platform, within the platforms limits.
The gcc version is old 2.95.3 but hey the platform is old too and opens up a new avenue to learn shell scripting.
The shell is ksh.
The source code is there along with pre-compiled binaries, much more too.
It is on AMINET here:-
Aminet - dev/gcc/ADE.zip
Get out your old A1200s and have a little fun... ;oD

Hi guys and gals...
Who still plays with the AMIGA in any of its guises?
I have a classic A1200(HD) on 24/7 and still build and code for it...
Also _clones_ of the same machine using WinUAE and E-UAE...
It still has that one major beauty for this 62 year old - moi - it is FUN! ;o) (2 Replies)

Well I wrote this in 2005 and uploaded to AMINET.as a commemoration of a machine that is still in use today.
It is now 29 years since this machne came into being. Phenominal and it is still being supported- WOW!
My A1200 is on 24/7 and I use it to test code developed on AMIGA emulators...

I built the hardware and wrote the software for an Audio Oscilloscope DC-100KHz in 2001 for the A1200(HD) via the AMIGA parallel port. It clocks the port at 200KHz, although 250KHz was easy enough via a... (4 Replies)

pwmconfig
PWMCONFIG(8) System Manager's Manual PWMCONFIG(8)
NAME
pwmconfig - tests the PWM outputs of sensors and configures fancontrol
SYNOPSIS
pwmconfig
WARNING
pwmconfig will attempt to stop your fans, one at a time, for approximately 5 seconds each. This may cause your processor temperature to
rise. Verify that all fans are running at normal speed after this program has exited. pwmconfig does its best to check that the fans are
spinning when they are supposed to, but due to the diversity of available motherboards and fans, it shouldn't be blindly trusted. Always
verify by yourself.
It is strongly recommended to run pwmconfig at a time when there is no significant system load, to minimize the risk of overheating.
DESCRIPTION
pwmconfig searches your sensors for pulse width modulation (PWM) controls, and tests each one to see if it controls a fan on your mother-
board. Note that many motherboards do not have PWM circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports PWM.
When a connection is established between a PWM control and a fan, pwmconfig can generate a detailed correlation, to show how a given fan is
responding to various PWM duty cycles.
Lastly, pwmconfig will enter in fancontrol configuration mode (unless you decide to skip that part.) In this mode, you are invited to enter
several parameters which will determine how the fancontrol daemon regulates the speed of one or more fans in your system based on tempera-
ture measurements. In particular, you will have the opportunity to establish mappings between fans and temperature inputs, define the tem-
perature range over which the speed of the fan should be adjusted dynamically, the minimum speed at which the fan should spin, etc. See
fancontrol(8) for additional information.
BUGS
The term "PWM" is used because most fan control systems in computers are based on pulse width modulation. Some motherboards however use DC
variation instead. So, the term "PWM" should be seen as a generic term for "fan speed control", regardless of the actual method used.
