Getting Help

For the latest product documentation, check the MIPS Open IDE wiki https://github.com/mips-open-ide/Releases/wiki. For information about the latest MIPS Open IDE or runtime environment, check https://github.com/mips-open-ide.

In addition to this User Guide, there are general Eclipse information resources available from within the IDE. These can be found by selecting the “Help -> Help Contents” menu item. Doing so will result in the following menu:

The Workbench User Guide provides a more general overview of the Eclipse while the C/C++ Development User Guide provides an overview of the C/C++ flavor of Eclipse. Since the IDE is based on Eclipse / CDT, both documents are pertinent

However, the IDE also incorporates a variety of enhancements that are documented only in this guide.
