MIPS (not MICs) is ported to NetBSD, which is in many ways similar to FreeBSD. I actually have one of those routerboards but haven't tried to cross compile NetBSD and run it on that board yet. I could build a MIPS version of my embedded software if there was a demand for it. Anyway, there is not much developement going on with MIPS so there is really not much need to port it over to FreeBSD. Yes, they are cheap and relatively fast but far away from being the mainstream you want them to be. Marcin.Received on Wed Oct 05 2005 - 06:14:40 UTC
