https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235060 Tom Pusateri <pusateri@bangj.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |pusateri@bangj.com --- Comment #14 from Tom Pusateri <pusateri@bangj.com> --- (In reply to Dennis Clarke from comment #13) I think that it is important to have easily accesible Big Endian machines available to easily test FreeBSD on. I don't have a preference which ones. Currently, the POWER9 machines are not easily accessible. There are not many alternatives currently. The Cavium Octeon MIPS64 used on Ubiquiti Edge Router Lite is prohibitively slow. It is possible that newer ARM64 devices be programmed in Big Endian mode but nobody seems to do this in Linux or BSD. I think this should be considered since it provides modern hardware at cheap prices and is getting better not aging out. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
