things just potentially got a lot clearer for Orbis

Currently, there are 3 types of devkits:

1) R10 boards with special BIOS, running in generic PC’s

2) “Initial 1″ — Early devkit

• model number: DVKT-KS000K
• SCE-provided PC equipped with R10XX board
• Runs Orbis OS
• Available July 2012

3) SoC Based Devkit: early version of the ORBIS hardware

• Available January 2013

 

Time to look inside of each devkit:

R10 Board (with special BIOS) assemble in a Generic PC

• Requires Windows 7 64 bit edition
• Recommend
• Sandy Bridge (Intel) or Bulldozer (AMD)
• Minimum 8 GB RAM (system memory)
• 650 Watt PSU
• VS2010 SP1
• DWM (Desktop Windows Manager) must be turned off
• Application will use Windows services for everything except GPU interface
• SCE will provide “Gnm”, a custom GPU interface

 

Do you remember the first Durango’s pictures? This is a very early devkit based on Windows.

DVKT-KS000K (“Initial 1″)

• Runs Orbis OS
• CPU: Bulldozer 8-core, 1.6 Ghz
• Graphics Card: R10 with special BIOS
• RAM: 8 GB (system memory)
• BD Drive
• HDD: 2.5 ” 160 GB
• Network Controller
• Custom South Bridge allows access to controller prototypes

 

SoC Based Devkit

• Available January 2013
• CPU: 8-core Jaguar
• GPU: Liverpool GPU
• RAM: unified 8 GB for devkit (4 GB for the retail console)
• Subsystem: HDD, Network Controller, BD Drive, Bluetooth Controller, WLAN and HDMI (up to 1980×1080@3D)
• Analog Outputs: Audio, Composite Video
• Connection to Host: USB 3.0 (targeting over 200 MB/s),
• ORBIS Dualshock

The last devkit is the closer one to the retail console. Expect a machine with these specs or similar to these ones. Obviously, Sony could introduce changes in these features, but don’t expect deep mods.
