MIPS seems to be quite widely supported (about as much as PPC64LE) despite that I’m not able to find anything that uses MIPSLE/MIPS64LE. Are they only supported for QEMU or is there anything that still uses it? Do you know of anything to play around with Linux for MIPSLE/MIPS64LE that isn’t emulation?

And now that I have made the post I got some search results:
- Routers apparently still use MIPS
- https://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/MIPS-HOWTO-3.html has some MIPS systems you can run Linux on.
If you want to share anything about MIPS though please feel free to comment, I would interest me greatly what the rest of you have to say.
Some older routers use MIPS architecture.
Edgerouters x use MIPS. Compiled some go code for mips to run on it a few years back.
There were two or three MIPS Android tablets long time ag, at the time of Android 5. Now Android does not have MIPS support anymore.
I think the phones at my university are MIPS. VoIP phones.
MIPS is special purpose, unlike something like ARM. You’ll find them a lot in carrier-grade comms equipment, electrical, mechanical…etc. They aren’t meant for general consumption.
