Hi,
I am an employee of Loongson Technology Co,Ltd.
Port to LoongArch architecture for Debian ,now in the "Downstreaming"
section in the port life-cycle according to
<https://wiki.debian.org/PortsDocs/New>.
The purpose of this mail wants to discuss the port with the community and send
an email to the debian-devel mailing list.
1、Introduction
The LoongArch architecture (LoongArch) is an Instruction Set Architecture
(ISA) that has Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) style.
LoongArch has the typical characteristics of RISC. LoongArch instructions
are of fixed size and have regular instruction formats. Most of the
instructions have two source operands and one destination operand. LoongArch is
a load-store architecture; this means only the load/store instructions can
access memory the operands of the other instructions are within the processor
core or the immediate number in the instruction opcode.
