MIPS技術公司官方對linux的支持信息

Linux

MIPS Technologies actively supports, develops and improves the Linux kernel for the MIPS® architecture, in particular MIPS Technologies cores, the MIPS32®, microMIPS™ and MIPS64® ISAs and associated ASEs, the Malta™ and SEAD-3™ platforms. Recent enhancements have included virtual SMP support for the MT (Multi-threading) ASE.

• Supports MIPS32 and MIPS64 CPUs
• Supports all the new cores from the MIPS32 release 2 families including the 24K®, 34K®, 74K®, 1004K®, 1074K™ and M14Kc™ families.
• Fully supports microMIPS ISA on M14Kc family.
• Development package for the Malta platform is available on our FTP site . Recent version is based on kernel version 2.6.29. It's available with Timesys distribution and tools from Codesourcery.
• Development package for the SEAD-3 platform is available on our FTP site . Recent version is based on kernel version 2.6.29. It's available with Timesys distribution and tools from Codesourcery.
• With 2.6.16 linux-mips.org has started maintaining "stable" branches for each major release. Check for updates in the git repository (git://www.linux-mips.org) web interface .
• Supports big- and little-endian

MIPS Technologies contributes directly to the Linux-MIPS repository, and via that to kernel.org. Currently, the most up-to-date kernel supporting the MIPS cores are available from www.linux-mips.org .

MIPS has entered into a strategic relationship with TimeSys to distribute a version of the development system including kernel, libraries, tools and userland, for the Malta platform with a complimentary, introductory subscription to the LinuxLink service from TimeSys . The latest Malta builds information is available on the TimeSys LinuxLink website.

Complete Linux distributions for developers is also available through our partners: MontaVista and Wind River .
