New MIPS Creator CI20 development board for Linux and Android debuts #Creator CI20
Features a 1.2GHz MIPS-based, dual-core Ingenic apps processor that runs Debian 7 and Android 4.4 KitKat A few weeks ago, when I first published an article titled MIPS CPUs, the perfect Linux machines , the first question I got from a lot of developers from the Linux community was: When can I get access to a MIPS-based development board capable of running Linux and equipped with <enter- everything-but-the-kitchen-sink -list-of-peripherals-here>? Today I am able to answer that question: for developers looking to run Linux on a MIPS CPU, we are introducing MIPS Creator CI20 , a platform running Debian 7 and (soon) Android 4.4 KitKat. What is MIPS Creator CI20? Creator is a new programme from Imagination which will provide low cost development systems for use by the open source community, enthusiast, hobbyist, cross platform developers (i.e. Arduino), and partners looking to create applications using our IP technologies. It covers all our SoC IP processors: MIPS...
