Bug#403229: MIPS additions
Package: release-notes
Severity: wishlist
There are some new sub-architectures on MIPS that should be mentioned
and one is scheduled for removal after etch:
mipsel:
DECstation support is incomplete and untested in etch and will be
removed completely after this release. This includes both DECstation
variants previously supported in Debian, r3k-kn02 and r4k-kn04.
Installations on MIPS based Cobalt machines (Qube 2700, RaQ1, Qube2,
RaQ2) are now possible without the use of a serial console. By
default, installations on Cobalt are now done via SSH. See
http://www.cyrius.com/debian/cobalt/ for more information.
mips:
Support for SGI's IP32 platform has been added. The IP32 platform
consists of SGI O2 machines with R5000, R5200 or RM7000 processors.
Installation are possible via frame buffer or the serial console.
mips and mipsel:
Support for Broadcom's SB1A evaluation board BCM91480B ("BigSur"),
which is based on the BCM1480 quad-core chip, has been added, both to
the kernel and the installer. This board is supported both in little
and big endian mode.
