In this Savoir Labs episode we explore the Raptor Blackbird system we use for PPC64LE support.
We start by discussing the hardware included in the Raptor Blackbird bundle, then the additional hardware we added to complete our system.
We talk about what we use the Raptor Blackbird for in our lab - mainly building & supporting Apache projects. Our work with Apache CXF is highlighted. A brief sample of building on the platform is shown via a terminal session.
