It is a standardized version of the Pegasos II. It was the first open-source based PowerPC computer and gave PowerPC a host/target development environment. Genesi released the complete specification (design and component listing) free of charge. The ODW-derived Home Media Center won the Best in Show award at the Freescale Technology Forum in 2005.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.freescale.com/media_center/news_releases/2005/corp/06-21-05_FTF_BESTOFSHOW.html |title=Freescale Technology Forum Best of Show winner exemplifies cool, innovative technology |accessdate=2016-07-17 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120205024229/http://www.freescale.com/media_center/news_releases/2005/corp/06-21-05_FTF_BESTOFSHOW.html |archivedate=2012-02-05 }}</ref> It also features an ATI certification<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ati.amd.com/products/certified/genesi.html |title=CERTIFIED BY ATI - Product List |accessdate=2007-02-15 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071025060852/http://ati.amd.com/products/certified/genesi.html |archivedate=2007-10-25 }}</ref> and a "Ready for IBM Technology" certification.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www-304.ibm.com/jct09002c/gsdod/solutiondetails.do?solutionId=10567&lc=en |title=IBM - Open Desktop Workstation |accessdate=2007-02-15 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070203085609/http://www-304.ibm.com/jct09002c/gsdod/solutiondetails.do?solutionId=10567&lc=en |archivedate=2007-02-03 }}</ref>
