IIUC this `mips32eb` port is the one called just "mips".

I'm using it on my BT HomeHub 5

https://openwrt.org/toh/bt/homehub_v5a?s[]=homehub

It's one of the very few devices which satisfy:
- includes a DSL modem
- includes a wifi more modern than 11g
- supported by OpenWRT, including the DSL and the wifi

AFAICT this hardware can't be used with anything else than `mips32eb`.

Hi!

You should ask in a more public forum rather than on Debian mailing lists if 
you want to know about potential users.

Debian/MIPSeb: proposal to drop mipseb port?

2018-07-07 Thread YunQiang Su
Hi, folks,
due to lack of enough man power and build machines for 3 mips* port at
the same time, I think that now it is time for us to have a talk about
dropping mips32eb support now.

mips32eb, named mips, in our namespace, is used by few people now, at
least compare with mipsel/mips64el.

The reason we keep it till now is
   1) some people are still using it.
   2) it is the only port 32bit and EB now.

In fact I don't know anybody is using Debian's mips32eb port.
If you are using it, please tell us.
