Anyone have interest in NetBSD for loongson
Now an OpenBSD/loongson[1] port is almost finished,OpenBSD
currently supports loongson based Gdium notebook,Yeeloong notebook
and Fuloong 2F mini-PC.
Actually,NetBSD supports loongson based computer too,but only Gdium
notebook is supported(in evbmips/gdium).
Is anyone have interest in backporting openbsd/loongson to netbsd?
In china,most of loongson computer users' machine is Yeeloong
notebook and Fuloong 2F mini-PC (currently about 16 ten thousand in
primary school for computer education,government's 15 million
procurement planning has been ratified by state department(china) ).
About loongson,loongson is a series of processors designed by
ICT[2],manufactured by ST Microelectronics. Currently exits
Loongson-2E,Loongson-2F [3]and Loongson-3 A(Quad-Core MIPS64)[4][5][6].
loongson-3 B(8-core MIPS64) may be taped this year. A feature of
loongson-3 is
Hardware support for x86 to MIPS binary translation[7][8].
China's next supercomputer will be constructed with loongson-3[9].
