Develop for PlayStation 3 Linux

Question

I\'m interested in developing software for Sony PlayStation 3 consoles which contains a multi-core Cell processor, targeting any PS3-compatible Linux distributi

Answer 1

You may want to try Offload C++ from Codeplay Software. It provides an extended dialect of C++ easing development of software on multicore hardware like the Cell processor.

A cross compiler toolchain allows compilation of code for the PS3 on Windows, which can be useful given the resource constraints (e.g. system memory) on a PS3 console running Linux, which can impact compile times and make the use of a PS3 as a desktop awkward.

Versions of the Offload C++ compiler and tools are available targeting the PS3 GameOS and Linux on Cell with the Cell BE SDK. The Cell Linux version integrates with the Eclipse CDT for an IDE.
