MIPS architecture support #2
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm trying to interface a CYW43430-A1 chip with a Microchip PIC32 MCU. The PIC32 uses the MIPS architecture, but your btstack only has static libraries built for ARM architectures.
Describe the solution you'd like
Please add static libraries built for MIPS architectures. It's very easy with standard GCC toolchains.
Similar to the Thumb ISA of ARM, MIPS has MIPS16e and microMIPS. And MIPS is bi-endian. So (ideally) 12 versions needs to be built:
Endian
- Little endian (
-EL) - Big endian (
-EB)
ISA
- MIPS32 (
-march=mips32r2) - MIPS16e (
-march=mips32r2 -minterlink-compressed -mips16) - microMIPS (
-march=mips32r2 -minterlink-compressed -mmicromips)
Floating point
- Soft float (
-msoft-float) - Hard float (
-mhard-float -fpxx)
If this is too much for you, you can only add the combination of Little endian, MIPS32, Soft float, since it's mostly used.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Use paid 3rdparty Bluetooth stacks like BlueKitchen. But it would be very unwise.
- Use WiFi+BT modules from other manufacturers.
Additional context
If you need help configuring or installing a MIPS GCC toolchain, feel free to ask me.
