Hello,
I am working on a project that requires an extensive boot program interface.
It turns out that the device tree used on PPC architecture meets the
requirements.
I have been looking, and I could not find any similar concept implemented for
MIPS.
So, I am now considering to port the OFDT library into the MIPS arch.
What do you think about this? Is there anyone working on a similar project?
Best regards,

I do not know any MIPS board using a device tree either.

You should see how Sparc, PowerPC and Microblaze use it and how they do share
code. Also condiser seeing how u-boot handles device trees, specifically on
PowerPC and Microblaze.
Hope that helps.

Ok, but what you think about doing such a port? I mean, is it something that
could be eventually accepted by the MIPS Linux community? Or do you have
problems with this approach?
I am looking forward for your answers.
Kind regards,

We have a working version of the device tree for MIPS. I'll see if we can expedite a patch.

Hello,
That would be nice. Would be that convenient, I am willing to help.
