This page contains information about porting FreeBSD to the MIPS® platform. Discussion of the MIPS port takes place on the freebsd-mips mailing list.
MIPS is a - Tier 3 architecture, and as such is currently regarded as experimental. - It is not supported by the FreeBSD project.
+ Tier 2 architecture, and as such is not fully supported by the + FreeBSD project.FreeBSD/MIPS is a port of the FreeBSD operating system to platforms based around MIPS processors. At the moment, several MIPS32 and MIPS64 development boards and embedded platforms are being targeted.
Listing all supported devices on all CPUs and boards is impractical here, however much information can be obtained from the mailing list and archives, the FreeBSD/MIPS Wiki pages, and also from the Kernel Configuration files
The following non-exhaustive list of CPUs and CPU families are supported:
Note that not all peripherals are supported on all CPUs.
The following boards are supported:

Discussion of this port takes place on the freebsd-sparc mailing list.
UltraSPARC is a - Tier 2 architecture, and as such is not fully supported by the - FreeBSD project. Although fully functional, the port - is not as feature-complete as the i386 or amd64 ports.
+ Tier 2 architecture through FreeBSD 12.x. It is no longer supported + in FreeBSD 13.0 and later.A summary of supported systems follows. SMP is supported on all supported systems that contain more than 1 processor. For full details, please see the hardware notes of the release you are using.
These systems are partially supported by FreeBSD. In particular, the fibre channel controllers in SBus-based systems are not supported. However, it is possible to use these with a SCSI controller supported by the esp(4) driver (Sun ESP SCSI, Sun FAS Fast-SCSI and Sun FAS366 Fast-Wide SCSI controllers).
Starting with 7.2-RELEASE, sparc64 systems based on Sun UltraSPARC III and beyond are also supported by FreeBSD, which includes these known working systems:
These Sun UltraSPARC systems are not tested but are believed to also be supported by FreeBSD:
Starting with 7.4-RELEASE and 8.1-RELEASE, sparc64 systems based on Fujitsu SPARC64 V are also supported by FreeBSD, which includes these known working systems:
These Fujitsu SPARC64 systems have not been tested but are believed to also be supported by FreeBSD:
If you have a system that is not listed here, please try it and let us know about it.
