The primary goal of this project is to provide support for MIPS as a [[TomCallaway/SecondaryArchitectures| secondary architecture]]  in Fedora.
Just like the ARM port, our secondary goal is to enable derivative distributions based on the Fedora package collection and repository that are more suitably optimized for embedded and mobile use-cases.

Currently we have chosen to support Loongson 2F and Loongson 3A, but in time we will also support other MIPS-compatible processors.
At this moment we have chosen to support two targets:
* '''mipsel''' - mips32r2, little endian, o32 ABI
* '''mips64el''' - mips64r2, little endian, n64 ABI


Information of Loongson CPU can be found on http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Loongson, http://www.loongson.cn/ and forum http://bbs.lemote.com/.
