Jim, Kris, Thanks for your inputs! I was working on uClinux a couple of years back and now I am in different company on different OS. So, now I want to do hobby project and as far as I see, uClinux distribution doesn't come with MIPS port by default. Those who did it is not easily available or has to be searched on internet. As a hobby project, it's good to start with unknown to learn more. ARM is definitely something I do love, but all is ready made for ARM in uclinux. I am in networking field and still ARM is not seen so heavily used compare to MIPS and PPC. After a bit of search, I also found mips.com offers some development boards Malta but might be costly, still I mailed them asking for pricing. Anyone using those boards?
