    In its Monday announcement, MIPS pointed out that its software stack delivers a device-agnostic application development platform.

    “With the MIPS ecosystem around Android,” the MIPS announcement stated, “OEMs will be able to quickly optimize Android for their specific platforms.”

    MIPS said it has forged partnerships with Embedded Alley and Viosoft to help with porting, integration, and testing in the Android effort. Both partner companies are providers of Linux software solutions.
