Lauterbach TRACE32(R) Supports MIPS32(R) M14K(TM) Core Family
August 02 2011 - 8:00AM
MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of
industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital
home, networking and mobile applications, and Lauterbach GmbH, a
leading manufacturer of microprocessor development tools, announced
that TRACE32® debuggers from Lauterbach now support the MIPS32®
M14K™ and M14Kc™ processor cores. M14K cores leverage advanced code
compression technology to deliver high performance of 1.5 DMIPS/MHz
while reducing code size by up to 35%, translating to significant
silicon cost savings.
This announcement builds on Lauterbach's already extensive
support for the MIPS® architecture—including the MIPS32 M4K®
core—now bringing the mature, high-end TRACE32 debugging solution
to the award-winning M14K core family.
"Lauterbach has worked with MIPS Technologies for many years in
support of its industry-standard architectures and cores. With
TRACE32, the many developers who are creating products around MIPS
have access to a full range of debug functionality, from bootstrap
code to interrupt routines and drivers," said Norbert Weiss,
international sales and marketing manager at Lauterbach.
"Today, development tools and software for a processor are more
important than ever, representing key criteria in choosing a
processor for a design. MIPS provides the broad ecosystem of tools
that our customers need for their next-generation development.
Lauterbach is known for its high-quality products and technology
leadership, and we are pleased that the TRACE32 tool is now
available to our M14K core customers," said Art Swift, vice
president of marketing and business development, MIPS
Technologies.
With its TRACE32 debugger products, Lauterbach provides
development tool support for the MIPS32 architecture and cores, as
well as the MIPS64® architecture. For more information on

MIPS32 M14K Core Family with microMIPS™
ISA
The M14K core family is the first to incorporate the microMIPS
code compression Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). microMIPS
offers uncompromised 32-bit performance with exceptional code
density by using an optimal combination of 16- and 32-bit
instructions. Executing the microMIPS ISA achieves 98% of the
performance with a 35% reduction in code size relative to
MIPS32-only mode. The M14K core offers advanced features that are
optimized for microcontroller and real-time embedded applications.
The M14Kc core is a high-performance, compact, low-power design
that delivers a superior solution for cost-sensitive embedded
applications such as home entertainment, personal entertainment and
home networking.
