Hi fellow gurus, May I ask who are actively involved in porting FreeBSD to MIPS? I am interested in working on it. May I ask how to contribute to the FreeBSD MIPS port? I checked the wiki page http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/mips but do not see much info there. What's the current plan/timeline? What hardware is it gonna support in a near future? Anywhere I can start from? Thanks. I have some experience working on FreeBSD kernels a few years ago (probably still FreeBSD 4.x at that time). I also worked with x86 and (teaching) ARM assmebly before. I have some general knowlege on assmebly language but limited knowledge on MIPS though. I have also experience on writing OS (more like at the toy/instructional level though) and the understanding of all the major concepts OS in general for sure. Is this good enough to start contributing? Or if not then any comments where I should catch up? Thanks. Best, Song
