Java SE 8 supports MIPS processor core

Now the embedded systems and IOT developers who are using Java program can use MIPS processor core based chips in their systems more confidently. Imagination Technologies announces the availability of Java SE 8 for the MIPS architecture. Imagination and Oracle are working together to enhance Java for embedded and Internet of Things (IoT) applications and optimize Java for the MIPS CPU architecture. Java is preferred to program network and Internet based applications such as IOT devices. Now MIPS licensees can make use of most portable Java code for applications such as routers, wireless access points, residential gateways, next-generation consumer premises equipment (CPE), other networking equipment, mobile devices, IoT, embedded and more. Georges Saab, vice president development, Java Platform at Oracle, says “The MIPS architecture is widely used in networking, embedded and other key markets. Java support for MIPS will enable application development on the many MIPS-based devices such as gateways and routers that are out there in the market, and will play a key role for emerging and future devices. Imagination and MicroDoc, who are working on MIPS platform ports, will provide the foundation for connected devices, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with both companies in support of MIPS.” Tony King-Smith, EVP marketing, Imagination, says “As prod...
