Comment on MIPS Creator CI20 by gwhaley

Or the EdgeRouter 8pro, which is dual-core 1GHz OcteonII, with SODIMM (can be upgraded to 8Gbytes), and can be booted in either endian! (the little endian patches are in preparation for upstreaming…) It does cost more than the EdgeRouter3/Lite though.
If you are doing ‘tiny’ stuff then maybe check out boards like carambola2 or VoCore which are big endian 32bit but do not have the capacity (I believe – RAM or flash etc.) to run Debian. OK for OpenWRT though etc.

Board is announced and ‘request a board’ page is now active on imgtec.com – you can find a link from the elinux.org CI20 pages. Currently you can ‘only’ get them for free though (if you have a project etc.) – not yet for purchase…

It’s not a development board, but you might want to have a look at the EdgeRouter Lite. It comes with 512MB RAM and a dual-core Octeon CPU (MIPS64R2).

So what’s the closest thing to a comparable big-endian dev board these days?

Comment on Intel about to disable TSX instructions? by AngryProc

I’m so frustrated by the way Intel is handling this. TSX was a selling-point, so it’s not acceptable to simply disable the functionality. The way that mainstream media is either completely ignoring the issue or trying to diffuse it by calling it a “seldom-used” feature is repugnant.

I would expect them to recall the affected models, similar to the FDIV bug. TSX support was one of the major selling points of Haswell.
