Operating Systems
MIPS Technologies is predominately used in conjunction with Android and Linux operating systems. There are also a few NetBSD ports for MIPS
Android: Google’s Android operating system that is processor-agnostic, is built on the Linux kernel. MIPS originally ported Android to its architecture for embedded products beyond the mobile handset, where it was originally targeted by Google. In 2010, MIPS and its licensee Sigma Designs announced the world’s first Android set-top boxes. By porting to Android, MIPS processors power smartphones and tablets running on the operating system.
Real-time operating systems that run on MIPS include CMX System, eCosCentric, ENEA, Express Logic, FreeRTOS, Green Hills Software, LynuxWorks, Mentor Graphics, Micrium, QNX Software Systems, Quadros Systems Inc., Segger and Wind River.

Famous quotes containing the words operating and/or systems:
“I think there are innumerable gods. What we on earth call God is a little tribal God who has made an awful mess. Certainly forces operating through human consciousness control events.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“Not out of those, on whom systems of education have exhausted their culture, comes the helpful giant to destroy the old or to build the new, but out of unhandselled savage nature, out of terrible Druids and Berserkirs, come at last Alfred and Shakespeare.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
