https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D235060 Tom Pusateri <pusateri@bangj.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |pusateri@bangj.com --- Comment #14 from Tom Pusateri <pusateri@bangj.com> --- (In reply to Dennis Clarke from comment #13) I think that it is important to have easily accesible Big Endian machines available to easily test FreeBSD on. I don't have a preference which ones. Currently, the POWER9 machines are not easily accessible. There are not many alternatives currently. The Cavium Octeon MIPS64 used on Ubiquiti Edge Rout= er Lite is prohibitively slow. It is possible that newer ARM64 devices be programmed in Big Endian mode but nobody seems to do this in Linux or BSD. I think this should be considered since it provides modern hardware at cheap prices and is getting better not aging out. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
