What do you mean by ARM being more interesting than MIPS?

- More ARM systems shipping today than MIPs

- The ARM has a standard MMU (well, two major revs). MIPs has quite a few variants, and they involve TLB invalidation / reload. They're both worth working with.

- ARM has made some interesting architectural choices over the years, and it's worth studying what they've done. MIPs is more a static platform, not as much market pressure or will to innovate.
