Hi Adam,

first of all, thanks for your reply!

Sad to know.

We'd like to utilize the FIASCO.OC micro-kernel on chips like the 
MPC5554, MPC5567, or P4080 by Freescale, which are all based on the 
PowerPC ISA. Especially of interest for us would be a port to the P4080 
with full virtualization support. Accordingly, I'm specifically 
interested in your opinion on the implementation complexity of such a 
port. Curiously, how many person months would you budget for such an 
endeavor?

Best Regards
Oliver
