(FinancialWire.net Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) (Comment on this article at http://www.financialwire.net/2009/11/19/mips-technologies-announces-availability-of-arriba-for-android-porting-kit/) November 19, 2009 (FinancialWire) -- MIPS Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIPS), a provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for home entertainment, communications, networking and portable multimedia markets, announced availability of the Arriba for Android Porting Kit for its industry-standard MIPS(R) architecture.

Developed through its partnership with Viosoft(R) Corp., the Arriba APK provides a unique and powerful set of tools to enable deployment of the revolutionary Android platform to the vast MIPS development community across the world. With the Arriba APK, OEMs can quickly tailor and optimize Android for their specific platforms.

Initially finding success in mobile phones, Android is now moving beyond that to become a standard way to bring the full internet experience to DTVs, set-top boxes, MIDs, digital picture frames, VoIP solutions and other embedded devices. With Android on MIPS-the number one processor architecture for the digital home-developers can easily take advantage of a feature-rich, open source, internet-connected platform that lowers software costs and reduces time-to-market.


The Arriba APK is a fully-integrated set of tools that enables and speeds porting of Android to MIPS-Based platforms. From hardware bring-up through final product deployment, it provides unprecedented visibility into code development that extends the capabilities provided by the Android SDK. The Arriba APK leverages Viosoft's time-tested Arriba Linux debug and profiling technologies along with MIPS Technologies' powerful System Navigator(R) EJTAG probe technology to provide complete source-aware run and debug control of the platform under development. It features a comprehensive set of plug-in modules that offer valuable insight into the Android software stack, including the Android System Level Event Analyzer.
