<p><a name="index-target-descriptions_002c-MIPS-features-2556"></a>
The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.mips.cpu</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is required for MIPS targets.
It should contain registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">r0</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">r31</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">lo</span></samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">hi</span></samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">pc</span></samp>&rsquo;. They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending
on the target.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.mips.cp0</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is also required. It should
contain at least the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">status</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">badvaddr</span></samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cause</span></samp>&rsquo;
registers. They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.mips.fpu</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is currently required, though
it may be optional in a future version of <span class="sc">gdb</span>. It should
contain registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">f0</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">f31</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">fcsr</span></samp>&rsquo;, and
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">fir</span></samp>&rsquo;. They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.mips.linux</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain a single register, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">restart</span></samp>&rsquo;, which is used by the
Linux kernel to control restartable syscalls.
