Fedora MIPS 2015 Bootstrap
This page contains the information about the bootstrap of Fedora 22 for MIPS architecture started in March 2015.
Parts of information about the former Fedora 11/12/13 MIPS bootstrap can be found on these (likely outdated) pages:
Goals
- The primary goal of this project is to turn MIPS into a fully-fledged secondary architecture in Fedora.

Architectures & ABIs
MIPS has 3 major ABIs (32-bit o32, 64-bit n64 and hybrid n32 - 32-bit pointers and 64-bit data) each available as both little and big endian. At this moment the interest has only been shown for mipsel and mips64el, but others might come in the future.
mips64el
Details: Architectures/MIPS/2015Bootstrap/mips64el
Status: stage5
Architecture: mips64r2, little endian, n64 ABI
Started: March 2015

mipsel
Details: Architectures/MIPS/2015Bootstrap/mipsel
Status: stage5
Architecture: mips32r2, little endian, o32 ABI, FPXX
Started: May 2015
Repos: https://mipsdistros.imgtec.com/fedora/development/24/mipsel/
mips
Status: some interest shown, no build hardware
Architecture: mips32r2, big endian, o32 ABI
mips64
Status: some interest shown, no build hardware
Architecture: mips64r2, big endian, n64 ABI
mipsn32
Status: no interest shown so far
Architecture: mips64r2, big endian, n32 ABI
mipsn32el
Status: no interest shown so far; died with the old Fedora 11/12/13 MIPS (even though it was called mips64el, it was using n32 ABI)
Architecture: mips64r2, little endian, n32 ABI
