 == A plea for hardware ==
-The development effort could be helped by getting more hardware into the hands of developers.  If you have Origin or Onyx hardware or parts that you want to get rid of, don't junk it, don't squeeze out the last few bucks from eBay but get it into the hands of a capable hacker! Another slightly mad but interesting option would be made available a virtual or an actual MIPS based data center to do a build farm on which we can target and conduct research, development an tests. Donors will be made publicly noted if they are willing to be so and regular build jobs will be monitored with small publicity for their kindness in a public site.

-'''IP35''' is the CPU board in Silicon Graphics [[Origin]]&nbsp;300, Origin&nbsp;3000, Onyx&nbsp;3000, [[Fuel]] and [[Tezro]] systems.  It is the successor of the [[IP27]] architecture of Onyx&nbsp;2, Origin&nbsp;200 and Origin&nbsp;2000 and the last MIPS-based server architecture of [[Wikipedia:Silicon_Graphics|Silicon Graphics]].  It's successor is the [[Wikipedia:IA-64|IA-64]]-based Altix series.

 == Linux Support ==
-IP35 is not yet supported by Linux.  A port initially targetting only the Origin&nbsp;300 has been started.  So far the kernel is booting uniprocessor and making it all the way to mounting the root filesystem which fails because there is no functioning [[PCI]] support yet.  PCI is working to the degree were it can detect devices but its resource managment is still broken, interrupt routing does not exist and the kernel fails to read the NIC (Number-In-a-Can which contains the MAC address) of [[IOC3]] cards.  This is a bit a complex topic and IP27 never got that right as well, so this time it's being sorted for real.
