One very interesting development is MIPS open-sourcing all(?) of its IP.
From what I understand, MIPS cores are already quite competitive with ARM, with good support for FP etc., and the MIPS ecosystem is quite good.
- monocasa 8y agoIDK, the MIPS announcement was worrying to me. IIRC it's only open for 'MIPS Open Registered Companies', ie. it's open in that they're open to the idea of providing source to the normal customers they have, sort of like Microsoft has ways of giving companies, governments, and academia the Windows source. The dude who bought MIPS is a sales guy who I don't really think understands open source. It'd be awesome to be wrong about this though.
