OpenBSD/loongson is still alive

I didn&#x27;t realize the significance of this, but searched a bit more, and found this:<p>&gt; OpenBSD&#x2F;loongson is a port intended to run on systems based upon the Loongson (also known as Godson) 2E and 2F MIPS-compatible processors, using the PMON firmware and boot loader<p>&gt; ...<p>&gt; Supported hardware:<p>&gt; Lemote Yeeloong netbook [1]<p>The Lemote Yeeloong rang a bell, since it&#x27;s one of the few computers that&#x27;s &quot;built on free software from the BIOS up&quot; that was recommended by Richard Stallman [2]. Glad the effort to run this is still going strong and supporting the latest version of OpenBSD, released in May!<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openbsd.org&#x2F;loongson.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openbsd.org&#x2F;loongson.html</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Lemote" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Lemote</a>

I thought this was obvious, but that&#x27;s only because I use a Lemote Yeeloong with OpenBSD, because it&#x27;s the only maintained system that&#x27;s simple to install. I&#x27;m not much for Gentoo.<p>One issue I ran into was no pre-built packages for newer releases, so when I updated to 6.5 I had to downgrade to 6.3 to get any packages. Sans that, it&#x27;s also unfortunate that Common Lisp implementations don&#x27;t tend to support a MIPS that isn&#x27;t under GNU&#x2F;Linux; the GNAT compiler for Ada also isn&#x27;t available. I can get GNU APL though, so that&#x27;s nice.<p>Since some are wondering, I bought mine about eight years back for a few hundred dollars and even back then the website that supplied mine soon ran out of stock.<p>This article has reminded me that I&#x27;d intended to make pictures and descriptions of my Lemote Yeeloong available on my website months back, which is a great option for my 2019-09-09 article, so I&#x27;ll do so.<p>Owning this machine has been a nice way to not use x86(_64) for everything and it&#x27;s made me intent on my software working properly on less common machines and operating systems. My choices of language have likely already betrayed that, but I eventually intend to write implementations of my own and I&#x27;ll ensure my Lemote Yeeloong is well supported. I also must remember that OpenBSD may not support it forever, although I could perhaps take over if it&#x27;s ever necessary.<p>I could write more concerning this, but this seems sufficient.

I read a little bit about this a while ago. Is there still a way to buy these? I&#x27;ve heard great things about systems development on the MIPS platform but haven&#x27;t had a great reason to invest myself in learning the architecture. Any opinions from others on that subject would be appreciated too. I missed the boat with the Imgtec Creator CI20 board, unfortunately. Does anyone know of any other Linux capable MIPS development boards on the market?

I&#x27;ve used this for some time on a yeelong hosting my personal website dank.systems (currently down due to an issue with the colo). The base system is in excellent working order, though some of the ports are broken on loongson in my experience.

So is netbsd&#x2F;m68k.<p>I am unsure what your point is.
