MIPS64 is still very much alive: https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/er-4 https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/er-4
"EdgeOS" is based on Linux, and people run vanilla Linux distributions on those boxes, as well as OpenBSD and NetBSD.
I wonder how long Marvell will continue selling those Octeon MIPS64 chips, though. Marvell (then Cavium) switched to ARM nearly a decade ago (2016) for newer chips in the Octeon series. I think Loongson sells more modern MIPS64 (or at least MIPS64-like) chips, but they don't seem to be commercially available outside China.
