Creating Project - mips-open-ide/Releases GitHub Wiki
There are principally two types of projects in MIPS Open IDE: standalone executable projects or Embedded Linux projects.
A standalone executable is a program that does not require the services of an RTOS, whereas an RTOS executable is one that relies on the API published by the respective Real-Time Operating System.
Creating a new project in MIPS Open IDE is easy; simply select “File -New -Project” as demonstrated in the Simple Example Project in Chapter 3.
