Not too shy to talk

So it's not only us around Amiga who are dealing with historical and non-standard CPUs. It is pleasing to see that Turris ( open-source router manufacturer ) + cz.nic ( Czech domain registry ) are also developing further software for their historical product with SPE processor ( Turris 1.0 and 1.1, CPU P2020 ):

Next up is the move to Turris OS 8, which is built on OpenWrt 23.05. The system is already usable, but problems with the unusual architecture in the first blue Turris are being addressed. This uses the PowerPC architecture but has a non-standard hardware floating point unit. This is no longer supported by the latest compilers and system libraries. But we don't want to stop supporting blue Turris, we just want to stop supporting the hardware acceleration. Of the original set of two thousand, more than a thousand are still in use.

Translated from Czech original article: see part "Michal Hrušecký: Novinky v Turrisu"

P.S.: P2020 CPU has two e500 cores with SPE.
P.P.S: I have newer Turris router at home, but already the Turris Omnia v.CZ11NIC13 version with ARM CPU. Perfect thing, expandable, configurable, open-source, no blackbox. Thanx @cz.nic!

AmigaOS3: Amiga 1200
AmigaOS4: Micro A1-C, AmigaOne XE, Pegasos II, Sam440ep, Sam440ep-flex, AmigaOne X1000
MorphOS: Efika 5200b, Pegasos I, Pegasos II, Powerbook, Mac Mini, iMac, Powermac Quad
