Description
As with the PS3, it may also be interesting to support the Nintendo Wii, as a cheap, 32-bit, big-endian PowerPC target, for build/boot, in the future, although it's not a very open platform, since documentation is scarce, outside of reverse-engineering at places like WiiBrew.
A European-market Wii console is available, within the project, along with an SD card, and a copy of The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess (RVL-RZDP-UKV), which may be useful, in order to use the "Twilight Hack", and install the HomeBrew Channel, in order to run custom code.
Judging by the Linux BSP, at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/2f4c53349961c8ca480193e47da4d44fdb8335a8/arch/powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/wii.c, along with the Wii, and GameCube pseudo-device trees, at Kernel.org, at least some level of Open Firmware discoverability is supported, and someone was working on a FreeBSD port, at https://wiki.freebsd.org/action/show/Wii?action=show&redirect=FreeBSD%2FWii.
Additionally, any effort towards a Wii port might also be usefully-extended, if anyone wanted to support related machines, like the GameCube, and Wii U.
