I had a quick look at this, I had a lot of trouble getting to to run the prep tools on the X5000, (no altivec, I think)acefnq wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 2:00 pm Christian

The documentation of Void indeed states that e5500 CPUs do not work with the 64bit version due to altivec.
The deposit of the 32bit version did not seem to have FF 79, so Void would be much more useful for X1000 users.If time permits in the future I'll have another look, looks like the 64be version will run on the X1000, we may need to stick to 32bit on the X5000 though.
