First Silicon Solutions Introduces Eclipse-Based Navigator(TM) IDE for MIPS New SOC-it(R) Platform

Business Wire
First Silicon Solutions (FS2), a division of MIPS Technologies,
Inc. (NASDAQ:MIPS), today announced the Eclipse-based Navigator�
IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for MIPS-Based� software
development. The FS2 Navigator IDE supports all MIPS32� and MIPS64�
processor cores and is fully integrated with the MIPS� GNU-based
SDE toolkit, providing design engineers with a complete development
environment and a rich set of software utilities that is easy to
install and use. Since Eclipse is rapidly becoming an embedded
industry standard for IDE with vendors seamlessly integrating
sophisticated editing, compilation, debug and program management
tools, FS2 has leveraged this power and extensibility as a control
environment and user interface for their system level debug tools.
The integration of the Eclipse framework for MIPS-Based software
development is another component of MIPS Technologies new SOC-it�
platform. Fully tested and validated under the MIPS-Verified�
program, the SOC-it platform will be implemented with MIPS
Technologies and third party IP, leveraging a robust ecosystem that
includes system-level debug tools to help ensure full software
support for SOC-it platforms. Automated Installation Process
Embedded software developers increasingly expect complete and easy
to use out-of-the-box tool solutions. FS2 Navigator IDE completely
automates the installation process for the MIPS SDE toolkit. The
Navigator IDE installs the necessary Windows components of the GNU
tools with all of the appropriate switches and options, installs
the SDE GNU compiler and utilities, and launches the Eclipse-based
Navigator IDE. Support for System-level Debug Solutions The
foundation of the FS2 tool environment is the JTAG-based System
Navigator� Probe that provides the physical link to the target
system. This probe enables access to all of the debug features
available in all MIPS� cores, including EJTAG, PDtrace� and
real-time PC sampling. The Navigator IDE is the �cockpit� that
enables all of the views of these powerful silicon-based debug
features. FS2 Navigator IDE is Extensible A comprehensive debug
environment has to be extensible. Since the Navigator IDE is
Eclipse-based, it supports Eclipse plug-ins which allow debug
capability to be added seamlessly to the Navigator IDE. Plug-ins
include features like RTOS awareness and system level debug
features, such as bus analyzers or multicore debug utilities. In
addition to adding support for system-level debug tools specific to
the MIPS Technologies environment, Eclipse plug-ins offer access to
the growing base of third-party software utilities, including
source code editors, browsers, syntax checking, and program
management. Core-centric debug features like EJTAG and PDtrace are
just part of the FS2 portfolio of system-level debug solutions. FS2
debug IP also supports bus analysis and multi-core debugging. The
FS2 debug environment is extensible to heterogeneous multi-core
debugging applications, such as integrating systems analysis of
multiple MIPS-Based and DSP cores, or trace of OCP, AMBA or custom
bus interfaces. The Navigator IDE ensures a comprehensive software
development environment with sophisticated features, ease of use,
and minimal ongoing cost to the MIPS system developer. Availability
FS2 Navigator IDE for MIPS cores is available now. Contact FS2 or

Solutions specializes in hardware verification and debug
technologies including on-chip instrumentation, custom silicon IP,
development tools and design services for programming, testing and
debug of embedded systems in FPGA, SoC, SOPC, ASSP and ASIC
designs. FS2 provides full system solutions with IP blocks for
processor, logic and complex system-level designs, along with
hardware and software tools for improved debug and analysis at all
stages in the development cycle - from system design and
verification to software development and optimization. FS2 products
enable silicon vendors and their customers to take their designs
from "first silicon" to production faster, with a better
understanding of the design performance and overall operation - for
faster time-to-market and higher quality products. FS2 is a
