Hi list,
I met a person, Petar Jovanovic, from Imgtec. With his team, they are
looking into adding a MIPS backend to mozilla-central, they currently forked
the github clone of mozilla-central (gecko-dev) and implemented the MIPS
backend on top of that.
Their goal is to provide a working version of Gecko/B2G running on MIPS. To
do so they would prefer to merge their changes into mozilla-central, instead
of maintaining their changes on top of the git clone.
I am willing to accept their contributions into the engine, within the
following conditions:
- We have one person to review the integration part.
- We have one person to review the MIPS assembly part.
As they are looking at making a working mobile device, I recommended that
they also add a MIPS Simulator (which would be added to v8 soon). The MIPS
Simulator will serve 2 purposes:
- Check the MIPS backend on Try.
- Make MIPS testing easier for other devs.
