linux mips support

Hi

I've recently become one of the beta testers for syncapp.

In the invitation mail I've seen support for ARM and PowerPC.

I think MIPS is missing in that list, lots of routers with usb ports have MIPS cpu's with the capability to run lots of things.

For example, my own router an asus rt-n16 runs a full php website with mysql, samba server, ftp and transmission torrent client. Since I have a 4TB harddisk hooked up I'd love to sync files to my router as well. In fact it has been my biggest issue ever to sync files properly to all my pc's and have a backup on my router.

Is there a possibility for MIPS support in the future? I'm willing to help with compiling issues if required.

Also, I do like syncapp so far, it's fantastic.

That's actually a great request for MIPS Linux support, such as the RouterBoard RouterOS runs. They make fantastic products that are enterprise-class, yet affordable. Many of them have USB port available for external flash and hard drives, to enable file sharing. Going the next step with having native BTSync would be awesome.

EDIT:

This is the device I often install and recommend for home & small office use. http://routerboard.com/RB751G-2HnD

And here is RouterOS. http://www.mikrotik.com/software.html
