72<a name="index-target-descriptions_002c-MIPS-features"></a>
73
74<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.mips.cpu</samp>&rsquo; feature is required for <acronym>MIPS</acronym> targets.
75It should contain registers &lsquo;<samp>r0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>r31</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>lo</samp>&rsquo;,
76&lsquo;<samp>hi</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>pc</samp>&rsquo;.  They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending
77on the target.
78</p>
79<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.mips.cp0</samp>&rsquo; feature is also required.  It should
80contain at least the &lsquo;<samp>status</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>badvaddr</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>cause</samp>&rsquo;
81registers.  They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target.
82</p>
83<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.mips.fpu</samp>&rsquo; feature is currently required, though
84it may be optional in a future version of <small>GDB</small>.  It should
85contain registers &lsquo;<samp>f0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>f31</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>fcsr</samp>&rsquo;, and
86&lsquo;<samp>fir</samp>&rsquo;.  They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target.
87</p>
88<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.mips.dsp</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional.  It should
89contain registers &lsquo;<samp>hi1</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>hi3</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>lo1</samp>&rsquo; through
90&lsquo;<samp>lo3</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>dspctl</samp>&rsquo;.  The &lsquo;<samp>dspctl</samp>&rsquo; register should
91be 32-bit and the rest may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target.
92</p>
93<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.mips.linux</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional.  It should
94contain a single register, &lsquo;<samp>restart</samp>&rsquo;, which is used by the
95Linux kernel to control restartable syscalls.
