:!: As part of %%FreeBSD%%'s [[DeprecationPlan#FreeBSD_14|14.0 deprecation plans]], the MIPS architecture port has been removed.  The following information is kept as a historical reference.

There was once a %%FreeBSD%%/mips [[mips/todo|TODO List]] containing items that we would have liked to see, but it is now OBE.

===== MIPS32 =====

There are a variety of MIPS32 platforms supported.

The most popular / tested is the [[AtherosMIPS|Atheros MIPS]] %%SoCs%%.

The CPU families in question (in 32-bit mode):

  * MIPS4Kc
  * MIPS24Kc (from 9-RELEASE)
  * MIPS74Kc (from 11-HEAD)

Specific boards (non-exhaustive):

  * [[mips/UBNT-RouterStation|Ubiquiti Networks Router-Station (AR7130)]]
  * [[mips/UBNT-RouterStation|Ubiquiti Networks Router-Station Pro (AR7161)]]
  * [[mips/UBNT-PicoStationM2HP|Ubiquiti Networks PicoStation M2HP (AR7241)]]
  * [[mips/TL-WR1043ND|TP-Link TL-WR1043ND (AR9132)]]
  * Mikrotik %%RouterBoard%% RB450G
  * Alfa Networks Hornet UB (AR933x)
  * [[mips/DIR-825|D-Link DIR-825 (AR7161, AR934x)]]
  * D-Link DIR-655 (QCA9558)
  * Atheros PB44, PB47, AP94, AP96 reference designs (AR7161)
  * Atheros DB120 reference design (AR9344)
  * [[mips/Carambola2|8devices Carambola-2 (AR9330)]]
  * [[mips/ENH200|Engenius ENH-200 (AR7240+AR9285)]]
  * [[mips/WZR300HP|Buffalo Airstation WZR-300HP B0 A1]]
  * Atheros AP135 reference design (QCA9558)
  * [[mips/TL-WR1043NDv2|TP-Link TL-1043ND v2 (QCA9558)]]
  * [[mips/TL-WDR3600|TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1.5 (AR9344)]]

May other devices have an AR71xx, AR724x, AR91xx, AR933x, AR934x, QCA955x in them. Any of those boards will work - provided enough RAM (32MB) and flash (8MB) is available to run %%FreeBSD%%-HEAD.

  * Ralink RT305xF systems
  * Malta (32 and 64 bit emulation)

===== MIPS 64 based =====

  * BERI ([[http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/beri/]]) (From 10.0-RELEASE)

===== Octeon-based =====

**See [[mips/Octeon]] article.**

===== NetLogic =====

  * %%NetLogic%% XLR/XLS CPU family

===== Emulation =====

The 32-bit and 64-bit MIPS platforms (both big and little endian) can be tested under various emulator environments. Please see [[MipsEmulation]] for further information.

===== Building FreeBSD/MIPS =====

A very simple (and perhaps out of date) overview can be found here - [[FreeBSD/BuildingMIPS]] .

AdrianChadd has built a set of build scripts to build MIPS/ARM access point images: [[https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-wifi-build/]] .
