MIPS for next Amiga
« on: December 06, 2014, 03:40:25 AM »
Here is the MIPS creator. If you don't like ARM we could port to this one instead.

I'm going go read the specs of the MIPS. It is 1.2 GHz dual core. 1GB RAM and will cost $65

Here is another link with specs. Sorry it is in little endian by default.

edit: Would it be worth it to ask for a big Endian version?

I searched "mips 64" and I did find one big endian board that runs Debian.

Broadcom BCM91250A: 800mhz dual core

There is not a lot of software support. I'll check back in few months.

@above
I really liked the assembler code. It is a lot like 68k. If the assembler code is nearly identical maybe it would be easier to port to.

Is there a server that shares RAM? or does each unit need its own RAM and hard drive?
