HI James:
Quote from MIPS INC:
   The new MIPS32® M14KTM and M14KcTM cores are the first MIPS32-compatible
cores that also execute the new microMIPSTM instruction set architecture
(ISA)

   I have little experience here. If you are using some generic compile
flags, say "-EL -mips32 -msoft-float", then the result rootfs should words
for 14K core, also 4kec/24K

   Cheers

Dennis
