New Skype developers tool supports MIPS
architecture
MIPS Technologies has developed a Skype reference implementation
for the MIPS architecture through the SkypeKit closed beta
program.
MIPs announced support for its MIPS architecture in the
new SkypeKit developer tools from Skype, thus enabling developers
to build Skype functionality into MIPS-Based devices such
as DTVs, set-top boxes and digital media adaptors.
According to Art Swift, vice president of marketing, MIPS
Technologies, "We are pleased to offer our licensees
yet another key piece of the picture for next-generation
connected devices. By participating in the SkypeKit beta
program, our licensees and their customers can now develop
Skype solutions to enable Skype users around the globe to
communicate through a range of MIPS-Based products. The
MIPS architecture offers compelling performance and power
consumption advantages. These advantages, together with
the work we are doing with platforms such as Skype, AndroidTM,
Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Yahoo! TV Widgets and others, are
enabling our customers to quickly and easily create the
next generation of innovative SoCs."
