Imagination is working with the Debian Project to accelerate development of the open source Debian operating system for its 64-bit MIPS processors.

As part of its work with the project, Imagination is providing the project several MIPS64 processor based platforms, its calls SDNA-7130, for development and evaluation purposes.

The SDNA-7130 (Software Defined Network Appliance) platforms were developed by Rhino Labs and feature Cavium Octeon III CN7130 SoCs with quad-core MIPS64 processors clocked 1.5 GHz as well as powerful floating point units (FPUs).
