MIPS development kit
includes novel simulator
Green Hills Software has released its Multi 3.5 integrated development environment and enhanced optimising compilers for cores based on the MIPS Technologies MIPS32 and MIPS64 architectures
Green Hills Software has released its new Multi 3.5 integrated development environment (IDE) and enhanced optimising compilers for cores based on the MIPS Technologies MIPS32 and MIPS64 architectures. This includes all MIPS32 cores (4Kp, 4Km, 4Kc, 4KSc, 4KEc, 4KEm, 4KEp) and all MIPS64 cores (5Kc, 5Kf, 20Kc).

Multi 3.5 also supports processors based on the MIPS R3000, R4000, R5000 and RM7000 architectures.
In November, Green Hills and MIPS Technologies announced their partnership to jointly develop a "best in class" application development environment for MIPS-based embedded products.
Since then, the two companies have collaborated to produce the optimised version of Multi 3.5 for MIPS processors.
This new version provides several key updates, including debugger support for the MIPS 20Kc core, compiler performance that beats the industry's top performers, and support for the 4KSc processor commonly used for smartcard applications.
Newly integrated into Multi 3.5 is MIPSsim, an instruction and cycle-accurate simulator from MIPS Technologies that lets programmers develop and accurately test and benchmark their MIPS code on a PC or workstation without the need for target hardware.

In addition, the IDE now includes support for other key MIPS core specific features such as MIPS16e code compression, COP2 (coprocessor interface) and MIPS-3D extension (additional instruction set for graphics and multimedia).
"MIPS processors offer the highest performance in the market", said Brad Holtzinger, director of system solutions at MIPS Technologies.
"Green Hills Software's Multi IDE is the most complete environment for MIPS-based embedded development.
Multi's advanced C and C++ compilers also deliver the best optimised code for our customers' embedded applications".
The combination of the Multi IDE and the Green Hills family of optimising C, C++, EC++, Fortran and Ada95 compilers automates all aspects of embedded software development for MIPS processors, including multicore systems.
Featuring a window-oriented editor, source-level debugger, graphical program builder, and run-time error checker, Multi also includes a version control system, performance profiler, speed/size optimising profiler (CodeBalance), and real-time EventAnalyzer.
Fully RTOS-aware, the Multi debugger enables designers working with popular RTOSs to debug, monitor and tune their applications at the task level.
Multi users can simultaneously debug multiple tasks across multiple address spaces, whether those processes reside on a single processor, or are distributed across multiple processors.
They can also set process-specific and address-space-wide breakpoints, and monitor/record I/O and interprocess communications.
They can also perform execution profiling at the process, address space, or system level to precisely pinpoint performance bottlenecks.
The IDE's real-time event analyser (EventAnalyzer) enhances real-time visibility by enabling programmers to log and monitor system and application events without disrupting program execution.
