Latest Android NDK Fully Supports the MIPS Architecture
Android App Developers Can Directly Bring Native Applications to Millions of MIPS-Based™ Platforms
SUNNYVALE, Calif. - May 2, 2012 - MIPS Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIPS), a leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for home entertainment, networking, mobile and embedded applications, announced that the latest official release of the Android™ Native Development Kit (NDK) includes full support for the MIPS® architecture. With Release 8 of the Android NDK now available from Google, natively developed Android applications can be easily brought to MIPS-Based™ devices. Developers can download the NDK on Google's Android Developers website at http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html.
Today, most Android applications are completely portable and available for MIPS-Based Android devices. However, a small percentage of applications still benefit from native code for performance reasons. Application developers who choose to use native code can generate that code for execution on MIPS-Based Android devices simply by using this official Android NDK. The Android NDK Release 8 includes the required tools, system headers, libraries and debugging support for MIPS.
"This NDK release brings native MIPS support directly to Android application developers-yet another way in which Android continues to demonstrate its neutrality with respect to processor architectures. We are excited that Android developers can now quickly and easily develop high-performance games and apps for MIPS-Based smartphones, tablets, set-top boxes and DTVs. This is a major step forward in the development of the MIPS mobile ecosystem," said Gideon Intrater, vice president of marketing, MIPS Technologies.
