MIPS and SPARC to name a few. Almost all routers are on MIPS and most of them are running some form of Linux or BSD.

AFAIK, rust is still marked as "guaranteed to build" on these platforms, but assume only Linux. BSDs, not so much.

In my experience, most consumer routers are ARM?

Maybe new ones, but there's a ton of MIPS ones too.
