Google Android 'five weeks' from MIPS port (The Register)

[Posted April 24, 2009 by ris]

The Register reports that Embedded Alley is porting Google's Android stack to the MIPS microprocessor. "Embedded Alley has yet to complete its MIPS port, but chief executive Paul Staudacher told us that an end date is less than five weeks away. Before the end of May, the company will release its Android kit for building devices using the low-cost Alchemy chips fashioned by the Cupertino superconductor operation, RMI Corp."
