  1. 32-bit All Chinese CPU by saikou · · Score: 1 · on Transmeta Closing Up Shop

    I suppose Transmeta's technologies will come in handy. Like they say :)

    The V-Dragon apparently has Midori Linux embedded in the chip.

    I just checked out the home page of the "Dragon" processor here. Had a good laugh on this one :

    Midori Linux - the world class general purpose embedded OS core (developed by Mr. Linux, the father of Linux)

    Oh well. At least they attempted somehow to credit the developer...

  4. Re:32-bit processors will still be around by phalse+phace · · Score: 1 · on AMD Predicts End of 32-bit Processors

    You're probably referring to Culturecom Holdings Ltd's V-Dragon chip as mentioned in this Slashdot story.

  5. Poor little website. by drinkypoo · · Score: 1 · on Chinese "Dragon" Chip On Sale
    Was it always this slow, or only after this article was posted?

    What I want to know is, when will a development board be available, and will it be affordable? Large corporations like intel can sell their development boards for one to two thousand dollars (US) are a matter of course; even transmeta's is a grand. Embedded boards typically are cheaper, running in the US$100-500 range. (For instance, lots of motorola 68k dev kits were $100, then later $250. Coldfire seems to run about $500.)

    It would be logical to assume that if they are going to be appealing to the low cost embedded market, tht they will make the dev board be cheap, but that doesn't mean they will. Anyone have any information on a development system? There is a picture of the system and a few specifications (nontrivial to make a direct link to) which include a four port USB 1.1 controller, 10/100 ethernet, eight analog inputs, two 16550+ compatible UARTs... They say it has a character generator, but no other word on the graphics capabilities. It appears to have 66MHz 32 bit PCI, that's kind of keen I guess.

    So, how much is the damn thing going to cost in the US?

    There's a bit more info on that aspect here

  7. Nice SoC design by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative · on Chinese "Dragon" Chip On Sale

    V-Dragon is an embedded chip, it has an integrated memory controller (supporting 1GB of SDRAM), USB controller, 10/100Mbps Ethernet and PCI controller. Since everything you need is integrated on the CPU, it makes motherboards very simple.

    It won't be very fast, but it should be more than enoug for web-browsing and text-editing.

    Well if we can convince our govenment that the Asains are ahead of us with OS tech, creating a "Linux gap!

    Here you can find some ads and posters that could help you convincing them. :)

    (it's weird that they use WMV format to promote their Linux system, I can't open them....)
