<sect2 arch="mips;mips64el;mipsel"><title>Platforms supported by the
&debian; &architecture; port</title>
<para>
&debian; on &arch-title; supports the following platforms:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Cavium Octeon</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Cavium designs a range of 64-bit MIPS Octeon processors which are
mainly used in networking devices. Devices with these processors
include the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter and the Rhino Labs UTM8.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry arch="mips64el;mipsel">
<term>Loongson 3</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Devices based on the Loongson 3A and 3B processors are supported.
<!-- TODO list some actual devices here -->
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>MIPS Malta</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This platform is emulated by QEMU and is therefore a nice way
to test and run &debian; on MIPS if you don't have the hardware.
</para>
<para>
There are two Malta kernel flavours: 4kc-malta is built for 32-bit
processors, and 5kc-malta is built for 64-bit processors.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</para>
<para>
In addition, other boards which contain <phrase arch="mips;mipsel">MIPS32r2
or</phrase> MIPS64r2 based processors should also be able to run &debian;,
however kernels for these processors are not built and the &debian;
installer does not directly support them.
</para>
<para>
Complete information regarding supported mips/mipsel/mips64el machines can be found
at the <ulink url="&url-linux-mips;">Linux-MIPS homepage</ulink>. In the
following, only the systems supported by the &debian; installer will be
covered. If you are looking for support for other subarchitectures, please
contact the <ulink url="&url-list-subscribe;">
debian-&arch-listname; mailing list</ulink>.
</para>
<sect3><title>CPU</title>
<para>
Some MIPS machines can be operated in both big and little endian mode.
<phrase arch="mips64el;mipsel">
For little endian MIPS, please read the documentation for the mipsel and
mips64el architectures.
</phrase>
<phrase arch="mips">
For big endian MIPS, please read the documentation for the mips architecture.
</phrase>
</para>
</sect3>
</sect2>
<sect2 arch="mips;mipsel"><title>Platforms no longer supported by the &debian; &architecture; port</title>
<para>
Since &debian; Stretch, support for all MIPS processors which do not
implement MIPS32 Release 2 have been dropped. Therefore the following
platforms supported in Jessie are no longer supported:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Loongson 2E and 2F</term>
<listitem>
These are the older Loongson processors. Devices based on them
include the Fuloong Mini-PC and the Lemote Yeeloong laptop.
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>SGI IP22</term>
<listitem>
This platform includes the SGI machines Indy, Indigo 2 and Challenge S.
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>SGI IP32</term>
<listitem>This platform is generally known as SGI O2.</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Broadcom BCM91250</term>
<listitem>
Development board for Broadcom's SiByte core. Also known by its
codename SWARM.
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</para>
