Processor core IP provider MIPS Technologies has launched a new Developer Community at Developer.mips.com. The new site, which is live now, is specifically tailored to the needs of software developers working with the Android platform, Linux operating system and other applications for MIPS-Based hardware. All information and resources on the site are openly accessible.
"This new community demonstrates our ongoing commitment to the vibrant open source effort around the MIPS cores and architecture, as well as around our customers' and their customers' hardware platforms," said Art Swift, vice president of marketing and business development, MIPS Technologies. "As the MIPS architecture continues to expand into new high-volume markets such as mobile handsets and tablets, we see an increasing need for these resources among the growing MIPS developer community."
On the site, developers will find resources including:
  • Android on MIPS source code, porting instructions, a native development kit (NDK) for Android applications development on MIPS, and other Android resources
  • Linux on MIPS resources including kernel source code
  • Downloadable development tools including the MIPS Navigator Integrated Component Suite (ICS) integrated development environment and GCC compilers for MIPS
