MIPS Technologies and DMP Collaborate on Android™ Development for MIP® Architecture

DMP Brings New 2D/3D Hardware Graphics Acceleration Technology to MIPS-Based™ Devices Running Android™.

MIPS Technologies, Inc. and Digital Media Professionals Inc.(DMP) today announced that DMP has become a member of the MIPS Alliance Program for its Android on MIPS initiative. The alliance will ultimately enable SoC developers to create MIPS-Based™ SoCs with DMP PICA®/SMAPH® series graphics IP cores.

DMP’s OpenGL® ES and OpenVG™ graphics IP cores including its PICA®/SMAPH® series cores are developed for high performance and low power embedded applications, fulfilling the increasing need for visually-rich user interfaces in products running Android. MIPS Technologies and DMP are initially working together to develop a reference platform based on a MIPS32® Malta™ development board and a DMP PICA®200 3D graphics IP-based GPU(NV7). The companies plan to display the jointly-developed platform at the Embedded Systems Conference in Tokyo, May 12 – 14, 2010.
