Yesterday's video ought to reminded us all that there is still an Amiga Community.
Michal Schultz has proposed to port both AROS and Anubus
to our new i.MX515 based hardware
We like both Projects Michal has proposed, as well as all the others submitted.
As for AROS, what we would like to see is a few Amiga applications being proposed to leverage Michal's effort (see Matt's note). If we get this organized, we might see this particular Community growing again. Being viable has something to do with numbers and we have customers with serious numbers in mind. Please submit your proposals. Thanks!
The Community is the Computer - a Super Computer. Go Zig!

One word: incredible. Who would have thought this could still be possible.
Go go Michal

are you saying any amiga game or app will qualify for a board?
Excellent news! My dream of AROS and Anubis being ported to ARM will come true atlast.

As long as it's not just a lame SDL recompile of XRick, yes. No, OpenTTD doesn't count, either.
What you need to do to qualify for support through the projects program (please do not think of this as a "free board") is to demonstrate you have the ability, and the desire, to improve the software and support for the platform.
There should at least be some effort behind it, and optimization for the target processor involved, to get the best port available.
And of course it has to be useful. It needn't be opensource; you could port a game that you may have a commercial interest in (we helped Paolo Cattani with VirtualGP for Pegasos/MorphOS, for example).
