<h4><a name="1">What is the FreeBSD/MIPS project?</a></h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD/MIPS is a port of the FreeBSD operating system
|
|
to platforms based around MIPS processors.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name="2">What hardware are you targeting?</a></h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>At the moment, several MIPS32 development boards and
|
|
SGI's MIPS64 computers are being targeted. Other MIPS platforms
|
|
such as common embedded boards and non-exotic computers in
|
|
a similar configuration are expected
|
|
to be targeted later on.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name="3">What is the current status?</a></h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD/MIPS is in the early stages of development, see the
|
|
<a href="http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/mips"> MIPS wiki page</a>
|
|
for information
|
|
about currently ongoing work.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name="4">How can I acquire FreeBSD/MIPS?</a></h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD/MIPS is being developed in FreeBSD's Perforce repository
|
|
but diffs will be occasionally posted to <a href="#list">the mailing
|
|
list</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name="5">Who should I contact?</a></h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="mailto:jmallett@FreeBSD.org">Juli Mallett</a> is the project lead.
|
|
Contact her if you can contribute code. If you just want
|
|
to know about the status of this project, check this page
|
|
regularly or
|
|
join the <a href="#list">FreeBSD/MIPS mailing list</a>.</p>
