New Google development kit supports MIPS

SAN FRANCISCO--MIPS Technologies Inc. has welcomed Google Inc.’s release of a native development kit (NDK) for Android which supports the MIPS architecture, allowing developers to code for MIPS-based Android devices.

Over the past year, MIPS has been pushing hard to break into the Android space, with its customers using the Android platform for a plethora of cheaper CE devices, like the $99 tablets featured at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

With Release 8 of the Android NDK now available directly from Google, the firm says Android apps can be much more easily ported to MIPS-based devices, without having to compromise on performance.

The NDK also includes all the required tools, system headers, libraries and debugging support for MIPS.
