    <h1>Project Goal</h1>

    <p class="main">The FreeBSD/MIPS Project is responsible for the
      maintenance and development of FreeBSD on platforms using MIPS
      processors.  The port currently runs multi-user on a number of
      platforms and a wide variety of 32-bit and 64-bit MISP ISA
      processors.

    <h1>Supported MIPS Platforms</h1>

    <p>FreeBSD supports a broad range of MIPS-based devices, including MIPS
      Malta, Ubiquiti Networks Router-Station and Router-Station Pro, Cavium
      Octeon, NetLogicMicro/RMI XLS and XLR (XLP in progress), as well as
      emulated MIPS environments such as gxemul.  On supporting hardware
      platforms, FreeBSD supports both multi-core and hardware
      multi-threading features.  In many cases, additional accelerator
      functions, such as cryptographic and network offload engines, are also
      supported.</p>

    <h1>How to Contribute</h1>

    <p class="main">If you have code that you are interested in committing,
      you can send it for review to the <a href="#mailinglist">freebsd-mips
      mailing list</a>.</p>
