This year, Green Hills Software will be adding support for the new Imagination 64-bit MIPS I6400 cores which are used in storage, networking, digital entertainment and consumer electronics.
MIPS CPU support from Green Hills Software includes its C/C++ compiler, assembler and linker, binary toolchain, MULTI integrated development environment (IDE), Green Hills Probe, SuperTrace Probe and documentation.
“Since announcing a comprehensive new agreement with Imagination one year ago, we have made significant progress in our plan to support all MIPS architectures and cores,” said Tim Reed, vice president, Advanced Products, Green Hills Software.
According to Reed, customers have evaluated the compilers and “have reduced code sizes significantly by using the Green Hills compiler to recompile existing code to microMIPS”.
Tony King-Smith, executive vice president, marketing at Imagination said: “Green Hills is an important member of the MIPS ecosystem.”
Green Hills tools and compilers for MIPS, including microMIPS, are available from Green Hills today, and for MIPS 64-bit Warrior cores will be available in the second half of 2015.
Embedded World Exhibition takes place in Nuremberg, Germany 24-26 February.
