That was probably checking the HOST. Remember that you're cross-compiling. Also, there's really not much more (yet) than the compiler and a partial libc and libm. There's no facility for launching SPU code in the OTHEROS toolchain. You'd need to handle all that by hand. You'd need something like li...

During the ppu-gcc setup, I noticed something that didn't seem right. There was some output text saying something like "Checking for big-endian..." and I'm pretty sure it said "no". Is there something I have to setup to get it to compile my programs for big-endian Cell, or will t...

The mesa sourcecode contains a lot of examples, just get the sources from www.mesa3d.org, unpack and check the examples directory. I think it was called Demos, but I'm not sure. If you have all the development headers installed you should be able to build and run them. It will use software renderin...

2. Is there any way of drawing 3D graphics in software (for example software version of OpenGL, SDL/OpenGL or something similar...) easily (without access to RSX)? If yes, what core/hardware-thread is going to do the drawing work? Sure, normal mesa opengl software rendering, on the PPU (= slow). I ...

After a few hours of debugging and googling, I realized that the SPE-program is embedded in the PPE-program... :O So it had to be something else that is wrong than I thought, and then, after some more debugging, I found out where my problem was. if ( spe_context_run( pContext, &pc, 0, NULL, NULL...

Hi all! Can't find the answer to this problem anywhere, though more people should have the same problem as I... I compile my PPE/SPE code in separate projects in Eclipse, using the Cell IDE add-on. They compile, and I think that I have linked the SPE-program correctly with my PPE-program, since I ge...

6. Do I have full access to the 2 * PPU and 6 * SPU hardware threads, and all 256KB memory on each SPE-core? There aren't two PPUs, there is one PPU and two hardware thread contexts (SMT). I know, I meant "(2 * PPU and 6 * SPU) hardware threads", 2+6 hardware threads. Thank you for your r...

Hi all! Here's my questions (I'm linux newbie): PS3 firmware >= 2.10: 1. Am I still going to be able to develop for the six Cell SPE cores(I have 2.0 now)? Probably really lame question, but please, only answer yes to that question if you are 100% certain (because I sure aint). Or is there any way t...
