Welcome to the V8 for MIPS wiki.

This is a port of the Google V8 Javascript engine to the MIPS architecture. Our code is now in Google's V8 repository, and all development takes place there. See Get the code.

(The code in this repo is very stale, and the repo still exists only to host this wiki and our issues tracker.)

The following links are v8mips specific:

Building the code:

• Get the code

• Simulator build

• Building v8 for MIPS using GN

• Building v8 for MIPS using GYP (deprecated)

• Building v8 with snapshots for BE

• Cross compile V8 with Clang that comes with V8

Running tests:

• Testing V8

• Running tests with qemu user mode for r6

Upstreaming:

• Submitting changes upstream to Google

• Backmerging commits to stable branches

Applications utilizing V8 engine:

• Node.js with mips v8

• Benchmarking V8

Board specific topics:

• Setup Ubiquiti ER Pro 8 for V8 testing 3.4.27 EB

• Kernel configurations, including:

  • EdgeRouter Pro kernel config 3.4.27 EB
  • EdgeRouter Pro kernel config 4.1.20 EB
  • EdgeRouter Pro kernel config 4.1.20 EL
  • EdgeRouter Pro kernel config 4.4.8 EB
  • EdgeRouter Pro kernel config 4.4.8 EL

Really old pages that might still have something useful:

• Debugging mips v8

• Intro to v8mips code generation

• Javascript and v8 design resources

• Running tests on Android
