It's a brand-new CPU architecture with a potentially large userbase across Asia, especially China. So, I think it's reasonable to expect there to be some users of Kodi on loongarch64. > If one can build a TV box on this platform, we should mention that because > some Kodi teammates > argued to me in the past that I should not bloat the platform code with > platforms no user would > run Kodi on. To minimize this friction, lets mention TV boxes are possible > with that CPU :) That's not really a convincing argument. Kodi has build support for various POWER targets and even IBM zSeries. I don't think we will ever see a TV box with a mainframe CPU in it, will we? FWIW, I think the changes required are so minimal that "bloat" is not really an argument here. It's an excuse. And, while we're at it, we should also add support for mips64el. Adrian -- .''`.
