Patches Proposed To Begin Plumbing 32-bit LoongArch CPU Support For The Linux Kernel
Merged back in 2022 for the Linux 5.19 kernel was the LoongArch port for that Chinese processor architecture derived from MIPS and inspired in part by RISC-V
Once the UAPI is ratified, we can proceed to scrutinise various kernel components to enable 32-bit support while simultaneously addressing user-space porting." As for the argument of adding 32-bit LoongArch support to the Linux kernel, Jiaxun Yang commented on the new patch series:"Although 32-bit systems are experiencing declining adoption in general computing, LoongArch32 remains highly relevant within specific niches. This initiative has resulted in several exciting high-performance LoongArch32 cores, including LainCore, Wired, NOP-Core, NagiCore...."
