Codescape MIPS SDK is a highly integrated suite of tools to facilitate silicon bring-up, debug, and development of bare metal and GNU Linux applications on MIPS simulators and development boards. Built and shipped directly by MIPS, the SDK supports the latest architectural developments in MIPS cores up to MIPSR6 ISA with MSA extensions including some features which have not yet been integrated into upstream tools. We aim to provide the best available integration and testing for our latest technology and support for MIPS development tools.
