MIPS Microprocessors (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

You can use Windows Embedded Compact to build devices that use MIPS microprocessors.

MIPS Technologies, Inc., designs high-performance, low-power 32-bit and 64-bit reduced instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessor architectures and cores for embedded systems. MIPS also licenses technology to semiconductor companies and system OEMs.

The MIPS RISC architecture CPUs range from 50 megahertz (MHz) 32-bit R3000 CPUs up to 266 MHz 64-bit R5000 CPUs.

Windows Embedded Compact 7 supports MIPS-licensed technologies developed by Renesas, Toshiba, NXP Semiconductor, Integrated Device Technology, LSI Corporation, and Quantum Effect Devices.

For information about MIPS-licensed technologies, see the MIPS website.

For information about MIPS-licensed NEC microprocessors, see the Renesas website.

For information about MIPS-licensed Toshiba microprocessors, see the Toshiba website.

For information about MIPS-licensed Phillips Semiconductor microprocessors, see the NXP Semiconductor website.

Windows Embedded Compact 7 supports the following processor types.

  • MIPS II
  • MIPS II Floating Point
