New Challenges ( FreeBSD on PS3 )

[Eprha Carvajal]

I was wondering if anyone though of installing FreeBSD in a PS3, i'm sure
there are some big challanges there.

The Hardware seems to be extremely powerful and there is people running
different linux flavors on it.

There is a lot to be done there, the cell processor will probably require a
long term effort, the blue ray device drivers, keyboard and mouse are USB so
i don't think that will be a problem for BSD, the video card is designed for
the PS3, will NVIDIA provide support as before, not sure.

In other words this is a new architecture.

Some of the questions i have right now are:

Is possible to the Sony/IBM/Toshiba documents for the Cell Processor ?
Is there any specific linux patch set for the PS3 ? ( Looks like there is
none, will have more info once i try both installs )
What is the approach of LINUX with the cell processor and the 8 cores ?
The NVIDIA RSX video Card was designed for the PS3, any chance they will
support this ?

I'm receiving one next weekend and i was wondering if there is a group of
developers thinking on this, i will love to see FreeBSD running in a cell
processor.

Comments are appreciated.
