Imagination gives away MIPS-based reference tablets
And to entice engineers to come up with new MIPS designs, 15 such reference platforms are up for grab.
The tablet features a 9.7” screen of 1024 x 768 resolution and comes with a headphone socket, a Micro USB and a Mini HDMI port, two physical buttons (sleep/wake and back) and a DC power input all designed on the top edge, along with the microphone, and the volume controls. A pair of stereo speakers sits at the bottom on the front.
Hardware specifications include a 1.2 GHz dual-core, MIPS32-based Ingenic JZ4780 processor featuring a PowerVR SGX540 GPU, a H.264/VP8-capable video decoder (up to 1080p at 30 fps), and 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 support. The tablet also features front and rear cameras for WebRTC-based video conferencing or for casual photo taking and HD video recording.
