New SDE Toolkit Based on GNU 3.4 Now Available From MIPS

The MIPS™ Software Toolkit consists of the MIPS® SDE GNU based toolchain, MIPSsim™ Instruction Set Simulator and the MIPS DSP Library.

In addition, the PXI standard is also being improved by enhancing it with PCI Express. With the new PXI Express, engineers and scientists can achieve bandwidth of up to 6 GBytes/s per system and 45 times improvement compared to traditional PXI systems, while preserving both software and hardware compatibility with more than 1,150 existing PXI products. Release here.

Recent important PCI Express-related announcements include:

• LeCroy Introduces First Automated Test Suite for PCI Express . . .
• Vanguard Express PCI Express® Analyzer for XMC and PCIe Announced
• Rambus Announces Fully Integrated, Optimized PCI Express Solution
• One Stop Systems Announces the Demonstration and Availability of MAX Express PCIe Over Cable...
• PLX Technology, Inc. Announces 8-Lane PCI Express Switch Chip
• National Instruments MXI-Express Delivers PCI Express Control of PXI
