Sneak Peek Inside Kea Campus' Amiga Corner

It's been a few weeks since the Kea Campus launch. There's still a lot of work to do, but some additional content has been added. This includes the first actual content to the Amiga corner (beyond forum discussions).

Here's a peek at what the campus home looks like right now:

@all

Kea Campus' Amiga Corner has just received its first how-to content: How to get an AmigaOS cross-compiler up and running on your machine quickly (see below).**

It'll be public over here in about a week.

Or, you can watch it now by joining the campus (link), and support creation of more Amiga content (and software) in the process. Just say you're an Amiga user when you post in the welcome thread, so I know you're one of us.

** This will be followed up with more videos in future...

... and the cross-compiler video is now public. Here's the direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS04tv_Bnjw.

@Hans
Thank you so much for making that video and for sharing my work. I am glad people find my work useful and I can contribute to this community.

@walkero

You're welcome. Thanks for creating the Docker containers. They make getting a cross-compiler up and running so much easier.

I made a huge mistake when launching the Kea Campus: I was so focused on the "learn to code" side, that I forgot to explain why the Kea Campus' Amiga Corner exists.

No, it's NOT just an add-on, or some kind of mere token. It's there for a specific mission. A mission that I hope you'll support, because help is needed to make it a success. More support means that more is possible.

P.S. I'm working on the next cross-compiler video right now. It should be in the campus' Amiga Corner before the end of the week...
EDIT: Looks like it's probably going to be posted early next week. Workload is a bit heavy.

The next cross-compiler video is now public (campus members got so see it a week ago). This one is on setting up VS Code for AmigaOS development using the cross-compiler.

Hans

The next video in the cross-compiler series is now public. It shows you how to quickly and efficiently get your files from the cross-compiler machine over to an Amiga for testing.

TRIGGER WARNING: This one might upset a few people.

@all

I just finished my AmiWest presentation, talking about the Kea Campus' Amiga Corner, and the VirtioGPU drivers.

While it was fun, not many at the show had heard of the Kea Campus' Amiga. So I clearly need to do a better job of promoting it. Any suggestions on getting the word out beyond posting here?

Either way, click here for more info

I have already seen your presentation about VitioGPU from AmiWest on YouTube. I would have liked to see more action of the driver under AmigaOs4.1 and its possibilities.

As my English is very limited does the driver already support 3D acceleration?

Maybe you could write a bit more about it here also when this driver will be available for the public, as far as I know they have been working on it for almost 2 years.

I am currently waiting for my X5000, but of course I still have a fully working Qemu/Peg2 on my MacStudio waiting to be able to use 32bit displays.

It's been just over a year. There is no "they," just me. A-EON is in charge of deciding when it'll be released.

P.S., I mentioned VirtioGPU once; the rest of my post was about the Kea Campus' Amiga Corner. It's looking increasingly that the Amiga community isn't interested in seeing better resources for developers (e.g., this). It takes minimum 2-3 days to create one tutorial/video (provided no deeper R&D work is required). I'm going to keep going for now, but if the # of subscribers fails to grow to a more sustainable level, then I'll have to put it aside and move on to something else.
