Congratulations! Thanks Luke for supporting MIPS. I have been waiting for a MIPS CPU card. I can donate. Please private message me.
"Unfortunately, MIPS Release 5 has the VZ module to support hardware assisted virtualization." https://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/KVM Though there is little information on the internet on the VZ module, most likely it would be less of a surveillance threat than TrustZone and Mobicore.

third one: in cooperation with ingenic we will be doing a JZ4775-based CPU Card, i have received the schematics and PCB EVB files just today, this is a dual-core 1ghz MIPS SoC with a dual 1Ghz X-Burst Vector Processor that can do i believe it's 720p video decode and 3D graphics. it's entirely software-based - no proprietary GPU or VPU - which means it will also be FSF Endorseable (hooray!). again we will follow their progress into next year's products, i would expect them to have a quad-core out that can do 1080p video decode which would be awesome if they did. power consumption is really low on the ingenic SoCs.
i will put this one with 1gb of RAM. the layout of the EVB is quite spread out, but i have made some measurements and it is *just* (barely) possible to leave the DDR3 RAM layout untouched, the SoC will almost be hard up against one edge and the RAM against the other: it is going to be very tight, so there will be no extra interfaces except for an SD/MMC Card. it does however have GbE which is fantastic, and there are two USBs (one USB 480mbit/sec and one 11mbit/sec) - i will route these both to the EOMA68 interface just out of sheer peversity.
more later as it happens.
