This project is aimed at adding &os; support for + Ralink/Mediatek's family of WiFi router system-on-chip (SoC) + devices, based on MIPS processors. These SoCs are commonly found + in embedded network devices such as WiFi routers. Having support + for these SoCs would allow &os; to run on a number of additional + low-cost devices, which could help spread &os;'s popularity in the + embedded systems world.

+ +

The project currently aims to support the following + Ralink/Mediatek chipsets: RT3050, RT3052, RT3350, RT3352, RT3662, + RT3883, RT5350, RT6855, RT6856, MT7620, MT7621, MT7628 and MT7688. + The following functionality (where applicable) is currently + planned to be supported: Interrupt controller, UART, GPIO, USB, + PCI/PCIe, Ethernet, and SPI.

Help with adding WiFi driver support (possibly to + ral(4)) for the above SoCs would be greatly + appreciated.

+ + + +

Help with refactoring if_rt(4) to be usable on + all of the above SoCs would be appreciated.

+ + + +

Help wth testing on target boards (e.g., WiFi routers) + would be appreciated.
