Tools & Software
MIPS provides a complete portfolio of tools to address all stages of product development. Whether you require state-of-the-art compiler technology, embedded RTOS support, EJTAG probes, development boards or silicon-based debug IP, MIPS has tools and IP to address your development needs.MIPS® NavigatorTM IDE
The MIPS NavigatorTM IDE (Integrated Development Environment) supports all MIPS32® and MIPS64® processor cores and is fully integrated with the MIPS® GNU-based SDE toolkit, providing a complete development environment and a rich set of software utilities that is easy to install and use.
MIPS® SDE
Comprehensive software development environment for embedded applications, including C/C++ compiler, assembler, linker, libraries, utilities, source-level debugger with GUI interface. It combines the popular FSF Open Source MIPS® SDE GNU tools with MIPS Technologies proprietary runtime libraries, pre-configured for MIPS® evaluation and development platforms (MaltaTM, MIPSsimTM) and includes GDB Debugger with MDI interface to EJTAG probes.
The toolchain is primarily for the development of statically linked embedded applications. For Linux-based applications, a complete development environment is required from one of our Linux partners.
CodeSourcery GNU Toolchain for MIPS
CodeSourcery, in partnership with MIPS Technologies, provides releases of Sourcery G++ GNU Toolchain for the MIPS architecture. Sourcery G++ supports bare-iron (ELF) and GNU/Linux target systems. There are three editions available - Lite, Personal and Professional. These are available for download from CodeSourcery.
Probes & Probe Software
First Silicon Solutions (FS2), a Division of MIPS Technologies, Inc., pioneered the concept of On-Chip Instrumentation (OCI®) and developed JTAG probe technology and debug IP to enhance the MIPS tool environment. FS2 can help you craft a debug environment specific to your project requirements.
