MIPS Debug Probes

MIPS develops and manufactures the SysProbe with support for MIPS (E)JTAG and cJTAG serial protocols. The probes support all the latest MIPS cores in the MIPS32, MIPS64 and microMIPS families.

Debug Probes
Benchmarks

MIPS uses Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) benchmarking tools extensively for our in-house developed and published benchmark results.

Codescape Debugger

Fully supporting all MIPS architectural features, Codescape Debugger enables developers to make the most of software running on MIPS cores.

Codescape Debugger
Codescape Console

MIPS supplies a stand-alone, command-line interface that enables direct access to all Codescape debug probes. Supplied with comprehensive command reference documentation and examples, it enables development of functionally-complex scripts for performance optimization, testing, and low-level debug.

Codescape Console
Codescape For Eclipse

Codescape for Eclipse is a complete software development environment that provides a fully functional C and C++ Integrated Development Environment based on the popular Eclipse IDE platform.

Simulators

MIPS offers open-source and commercial software simulator packages. These simulators can be extended and integrated with other technologies to form a complete heterogeneous simulation environment. All MIPS simulators are carefully verified to be architecturally compliant.

Simulators
Linux

Linux on MIPS provides a complete Linux system for MIPS based processors, with support included in the Linux kernel and distributions including Debian, OpenWRT, Buildroot, Yocto and GENTOO.
