CPU, Main Boards, and Video Support
&debian; on &arch-title; supports the following platforms:
SGI IP22: this platform includes the SGI machines Indy, Indigo 2 and
Challenge S. Since these machines are very similar, whenever this document
refers to the SGI Indy, the Indigo 2 and Challenge S are meant as well.
SGI IP32: this platform is generally known as SGI O2.
MIPS Malta: this platform is emulated by QEMU and is therefore a nice way
to test and run &debian; on MIPS if you don't have the hardware.
Complete information regarding supported mips/mipsel machines can be found
at the Linux-MIPS homepage. In the
following, only the systems supported by the &debian; installer will be
covered. If you are looking for support for other subarchitectures, please
contact the
debian-&arch-listname; mailing list.
CPU
On SGI IP22, SGI Indy, Indigo 2 and Challenge S with R4000, R4400, R4600 and R5000
processors are supported by the &debian; installation system on big endian
MIPS. On SGI IP32, currently only systems based on the R5000 are supported.
Some MIPS machines can be operated in both big and little endian mode. For
little endian MIPS, please read the documentation for the mipsel
architecture.
