We have very good Qemu defconfigs in Buildroot, for all of mips, mipsel, mips64el and mips64: $ ls -1 configs/qemu_mips* configs/qemu_mips64el_malta_defconfig configs/qemu_mips64_malta_defconfig configs/qemu_mipsel_malta_defconfig configs/qemu_mips_malta_defconfig These allow to very easily test things on those architectures even when hardware is not available. Note that I'm not saying that you *have* to test Erlang on all those architectures, I'm perfectly fine with enabling it on mipsel today, and enabling it later on other architectures when people need that. I just wanted to take this opportunity to mention the Qemu defconfigs, that are very regularly maintained and updated by Gustavo.
