Hi=) as far as i heard Parallella runs linux kernel on Zynq ARM core ONLY |
| 2 |
and Parallella cores act as a co-processor. So you can't get all its fancy |
| 3 |
cores out of box=(( you'll probably need to make some extreme kernel + |
| 4 |
openjdk hacks (and may be a lot of others). |
| 5 |
The main problem is that system runs on ARM core and Parallella cores are |
| 6 |
actually OpenRISC cores and i think that linux is not ready for such |
| 7 |
multiarch system, but I hope someday it will. |
| 8 |
I wanted to get some Parallella boards too, but for my needs maybe couple |
| 9 |
of Beagle Bone Black are more appropriate=) It's an ARM Cortex-A8 dev board |
| 10 |
with 2 1GHz cores, some 3d accelerator, 512MB DDR3 RAM, 2GB integrated eMMC |
| 11 |
storage + microSD slot, LAN, USB host and micro USB client for power and |
| 12 |
external PC control, microHDMI and audio through that HDMI, and a lot of |
| 13 |
GPIO and other pins. Doesn't have so many cores but 45$ only and it may run |
| 14 |
gentoo=) Perfect for scalable OSGi/JEE home cloud. |
