MIPS Technologies Advances 'Apps on MIPS' Development
31 May 2011 - 11:00PM
MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of
industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital
home, networking and mobile applications, announced the launch of a
new MIPS Application Development (MAD) Program designed to promote
rapid development of applications on the MIPS® architecture. The
program offers technical support and services for performance
testing and compatibility to verify that applications will run as
designed on MIPS-Based™ devices. Through the program—the latest
offering available through the new MIPS Developer
Community—developers can quickly create applications that are fully
compatible with MIPS-Based™ mobile devices to ensure an ideal user
experience with their games and other applications.
The initial MAD Program is targeted for development of
applications for MIPS-Based devices running the Android™ platform.
A dedicated team of MIPS development engineers will provide
compatibility and performance analysis, which will be fed back to
the application developer. Full documentation and technical support
are available through the MIPS Developer Community at
developer.mips.com. In addition, developers can take advantage of a
MAD Kit for Android application development. The MAD Kit offers a
full toolchain comprised of the Android software development kit
(SDK) and QEMU emulator, and includes a native development kit
(NDK) (r5b Windows/Linux). A premium mobile hardware platform will
also be available.
"An increasing number of MIPS licensees are developing smart
connected products with Android, including several MIPS-Based
Android tablets that are already in the market. Today, consumers
already have access to thousands of apps on MIPS. We want to
encourage developers to build more apps, and support these
developers in testing the performance and compatibility of those
apps. We anticipate that developers will optimize their apps across
each of the major processor architectures to ensure an optimal user
experience on all consumer devices," said Art Swift, vice president
of marketing and business development, MIPS Technologies.
