MIPS32 core optimized for Linux, Android
,----[ Quote ]
| MIPS Technologies announced two new MIPS32
| cores, including one that's optimized for
| Linux. Both the M14K core and the M14Kc -- a
| superset that incorporates Android-ready,
| Linux/Java microcode -- support MIPS'
| microMIPS instruction set architecture,
| enabling 1.5 DMIPS/MHz performance and
| advanced code compression that can reduce
| code size by 35 percent, says the company.

Embedded Linux research report ships
,----[ Quote ]
| EDC noted that some 40 percent of the survey's 500 respondents were targeting
| embedded Linux.

| [...]
|
| Also in the earlier reports, Andrews observed that the need for RTOS source
| code was "one of the reasons that proprietary RTOSes created in-house for a
| specific system have long been popular, and now it's a primary motivating
| factor in the adoption of Embedded Linux."
|
| The now completed survey results are said to include "expert analysis" from
| Ann Thryft, a 20-year industry veteran. The report includes chapters on
| platforms, processors, tools, languages, security, target devices, mobile
| development, and of course, Linux.
