Hi,
I'm searching for an development board with a MIPS processor - 1GB RAM
would be nice but 10/100MBit ethernet is required.
Unfortunately I can't find only ARM boards (100-150 USD).
Could you recommend me a MIPS board for development (I don't want to
have an old Indigo, O2 or Octane).
thank you and best regards,
Oliver

Hi,
I am emailing you from my Lemote Fuloong. It is an 800 MHz MIPS-III+ box. It
has 512M of RAM and comes in a nice enclosure. List price is about $190 but
I have seen some invitations on various mailing lists from Lemote for
developer discounts. http://www.lemote.com/en
If this is too expensive or you really prefer a dev board instead of an SBC
then what about MIPS Malta? They don't list the price on their site but it
is supposed to be a good board with good doc and I believe various BSD
support it in addition to Linux.

The Malta is very expensive and also is a very old design. On top of that
a Malta is just an ATX-format base board which needs a CPU card. A
typical CPU card contains one or two of the biggest FPGAs money can buy
so the CPU itself can be replaced by loading a bitfile. That is very
appealing to hardware developers but the FPGA dictate a very juicy price.

Don't know about the ethernet part, but you could check out the very
cheap mips based android tablets. Search for Ainol Novo 7 Paladin for
example, under 100€.
Anyone tried getting plain-old-linux running on one?

I suggest that whoever has suggestions for suitable boards should list
them including key technical data such as kernel / distribution support,
CPU type, 32/64 bit, endianess, price, peripherals, manufacturing status
and availability.

I'll try MikroTik RouterBOARD 450G:
CPU: AR7161 680MHz
Memory 256MB DDR SDRAM onboard memory
Boot loader RouterBOOT
Data storage 512MB onboard NAND memory chip, microSD slot on back side
Ethernet Five 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet ports with Auto-MDI/X
miniPCI none
Extras Reset switch, Beeper
Serial port One DB9 RS232C asynchronous serial port
Power, NAND activity, 5 user LEDs
Power options Power over Ethernet: 18-28V DC (except power over datalines). Power jack: 8-28V DC
Dimensions 9 cm x 11.5 cm, 105 grams
Operating System MikroTik RouterOS v3, Level5 license
Actual tested throughput
Ether1 <-> Ether2 = 1Gbps
Ether2 <-> Ether3 = 650Mbps
openvrt/debvrt support this board
(no FPU)
