Hello devels,
I've recently discovered that some mips64 devices have become quite affordable. Namely, EdgeRouter Lite (Dual-core mips64 500MHz, 512Mb RAM) is roughly $100. Because I already run two older (32-bit) mips boxes for fpc tasks, I thought I could probably add yet this newer device, if it could make any use for fpc development. (Although unfortunately I wouldn't develop myself, as I know exactly nothing about mips architecture and am short of time anyway)
One evident problem is lack of (official) ports of "normal" linux distributions. EdgeRouter Lite comes with some kind of debian 6 out of the box, however it was released by Cavium not Debian and therefore could be messy. Gentoo claims to support it officially though (http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MIPS/ERLite-3)
What do you think? Would someone be interested in remote access to such device with some sort of linux environment?
As an (mostly) unrelated note: fpc testsuite web access seems to be broken currently?
Thank you!
Nikolai
