Creator

Creator aims to make development on MIPS platforms as simple and accessible as possible. We offer hardware and software to get started, as well as examples/applications that you can use as a base to build from, or as a demonstrator of what's possible on MIPS based hardware platforms. All the software and examples are open source and available on Github.

IoT and LWM2M

Multiple device systems and cloud connectivity are becoming increasingly important in embedded systems. Creator provides the means to securely provision devices online to allow safe communication of your data. We also provide open source SDKs and examples of LWM2M to allow inter-device communication on local networks, and over the Internet.
