FreeBSD/MIPS Project

Introduction

This page contains information about porting FreeBSD to the MIPS® platform. Discussion of the MIPS port takes place on the freebsd-mips mailing list.

Status

MIPS is a Tier 3 architecture, and as such is currently regarded as experimental. It is not supported by the FreeBSD project.

FreeBSD/MIPS Hardware Notes

FreeBSD/MIPS is a port of the FreeBSD operating system to platforms based around MIPS processors. At the moment, several MIPS32 and MIPS64 development boards and embedded platforms are being targeted.

Listing all supported devices on all CPUs and boards is impractical here, however much information can be obtained from the mailing list and archives, the FreeBSD/MIPS Wiki pages, and also from the Kernel Configuration files

CPUs

The following non-exhaustive list of CPUs and CPU families are supported:

MIPS4Kc

MIPS24Kc

MIPS74Kc

Atheros AR71xx, AR724x, AR91xx, AR933x, AR934x

Cavium OCTEON

NetLogic XLR/XLS CPU family

SRI/Cambridge's BERI and CHERI open-source FPGA soft-cores

Note that not all peripherals are supported on all CPUs.

Boards

The following boards are supported:

Ubiquiti Networks Router-Station (AR7130)

Ubiquiti Networks Router-Station Pro (AR7161)

Ubiquiti Networks PicoStation M2HP (AR7241)
