Hi,
please, please, please don't delete the page or the archived binaries etc.
There's 10000's of SmartNICs based on this CPU that are being obsoleted at various cloud providers. They're very cheap to obtain, I've seen them as low as $6 for a 25G model with 16Cores/16GB Ram, and even the more expensive offers are a good value.
Once enough of them have leaked out, it will be very feasible for the community to contribute and revive the port. As such it is a really nice tinkering platform, and in some sense it's even more open, or at least more open to be investigated than the easier to obtain alternatives like Ubiquiti routers.
The only holdup is the sparse documentation and if we just have a clear warning then it should be hopefully OK to keep all the traces of this architecture support around?
