Marcan brings Linux to PS3 firmware 3.41

Famed wiibrew developer Marcan joins the PS3 jailbreaking stable with the release of his latest project, AsbestOS, a nifty bootloader to run PS3 Linux without OtherOS on firmware 3.41. According to the dev, the loader uses the "USB GameOS exploit (on PS3 version 3.41) from any compatible device, and any reprogrammable devices currently running the PS3 exploit can be used as long as they have enough free internal or external storage (40kB or so) to hold the loader. It is general enough that it should be useful to boot Linux given any other GameOS exploit in the future."

 

 

He then went on to add, "currently, it only supports netbooting a kernel and no initrd (mostly due to bootmem limitations). This is enough to run a Linux system booting from an NFS share or from USB storage media. Almost everything that works under OtherOS is working. As additional perks of running as GameOS, you also get access to a seventh SPE (needs a kernel patch to enable) and there is clearly full access to the RSX including 3D support, although we still need to learn a few details about how that works to be able to use it."

"AsbestOS is a fully independent open source payload and does not contain any code from the original PSJailbreak payload or derivatives. It is licensed under the GPLv2. Compiling it does not require any SDK tools, and it includes a script to build a fully vanilla GNU toolchain for the PS3."

If you're interested about AsbestOS, you can head over to the source link below for more info and other details about the project.

Maybe it's hugely far-fetched of me to hope for this, but one day I'd love to be able to run Android on my PS3. If not for the browser at least, with sixaxis/bluetooth controller support I don't see why the games/apps couldn't work well. Maybe I'm living in a dream world

XD

I agree with you, we want to run windows or XBMC.

If it were up to Sony, they'd remove this
'Present' feature. and the 'Past' feature. Then, they would have no 'Future' feature.

$ony's regretting their move from removing OtherOS now, as they've lost quite a number of PS3 legit users to psJailBreak to get the most outta it.

Don't play with fire or you'll get burned.

I don't understand why everyone is not praising this guy like he is God. The way people were acting when they removed other OS. Goes to show most people were just bitching about Sony taking it away and they never even used it. Good work on Marcans part.

If I had a jailbroken PS3 I would sure had welcomed these news.

Anyway being able to launch a linux distro from an external source sure is a good thing and a great improvement over otheros. Like a previous poster said this can probably make an Android version for the PS3 possible.

Marcan brilliant work!

PS3 is an incredible piece of technology, and yet not fully unlocked to see its true power.

Theres a payload for jailbreaking firmwares 3.01-3.41, he's just using 3.41 as his jailbreakable firmware.

linux on ps3 mean

- free use of 6 cells for any huge data calculation process

- GFX redering
- CAD
- MDS5
- Servers
- Decode
...

ill use it for 3d max rendering if i can , and remember 6 cells of ps3 are more powerfull than the i7 of m$ .

hope im right :)

7 SPUs, and the graphics accelerator.
The 7th SPU and the RSX are usable in this method because it's running with the same system access as GameOS.
So it's more powerful than OtherOS ever could be. :-*

This makes me want to get hold of a ps3 with older firmware.

I'm glad to see an OtherOS type loader back via HB. I'll try this out the moment I get my Ti84 back from my brother. If I can do get a working distro of Linux running and dump the information from the RSX I may be able to compile a custom driver mod from the nVidea's Linux Forceware. The RSX is a modified nVidia G70(AKA 7800GTX) with 256MB of Rambus XDR DRAM.

Trust it's not as easy as just compile this code with -ps3 added to the command. If I cant do it, I do hope someone else can.

# RE: Full AccessWalo 2010-10-21 09:10
having a full working RSX under Linux would be awesome.

just a little correction, the RSX uses 256MB of GDDR3 RAM, the rambus is used as the main RAM.
