bruce ashfield will know what i'm talking about as i've been torturing him over the last few days with this cool, new 64-bit, dual core MIPS router that looks like a perfectly respectable replacement for the current MIPS yocto reference board, the routerstation pro (both being from ubiquiti).
this is what i'm talking about: http://ubnt.ca/en/edgemax/61-edgemax.html salient specs: * dual-core 500MHz, MIPS64 (cavium octeon+) * 512MB DDR2 RAM * 2 GB onboard flash storage anyway, i wrote a bunch of wiki pages on it starting here: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/EdgeRouter_Lite i've already downloaded the source so i have the kernel and the .config file and was interested in building the toolchain so i could at least compile and test the kernel. i know next to nothing about MIPS but, based on what i've read and the possible tunings being: AVAILTUNES += "mips mips64-n32 mips64 mipsel mips64el-n32 mips64el mips-nf mips64-nf-n32 mips64-nf mipsel-nf mips64el-nf-n32 mips64el-nf" i would think what i want is "mips64-nf", but anyone who's a MIPS expert is welcome to correct me. this seems like a perfectly respectable MIPS platform for experimenting, and it seems like it wouldn't be hard to come up with a yocto machine definition for it. rday p.s. one of the ubnt engineers i've been chatting with is adamant that they're keeping the price of this thing at $99 USD (MSRP), so it's certainly affordable for hackers. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
