Blogflash: Sun Campus Ambassador misses Sun at EW2008, but is consoled by /k/ http://blogs.sun.com/martinmm/entry/limited_sun_at_embedded_world
/k/ (pronounced "kah") are specialists in embedded Java solutions for applications such as:
- industrial monitoring and control;
- access control, environmental control of buildings;
- service-on-demand and telematics;
- domotics, residential gateway.
/k/'s activities are centred around Mi|k|a, /k/'s VM and class libraries targeting embedded systems. /k/ offers consulting and training services for projects using Mi|k|a and OSGi frameworks such as Knopflerfish, Apache Felix and Concierge, plus a range of add-ons and customisation services for Mi|k|a.
Through partnerships with suppliers of embedded Java software and hardware, /k/ can also assist with all aspects of Java-enabled embedded devices, and provide support and training services to your engineers and customers.
How can we help you?
- Helping you choose a hardware platform. We work with a number of manufacturers, from chip and module makers to complete system integrators, so it's possible that we are already familiar with a design which has most or all of what you want.
- Helping you choose an embedded VM for your device. One answer may be Mika, but for example if you are happy to open-source your whole platform then Sun's open-source phoneME project could be a suitable basis. On the "proprietary" side, we are authorised resellers of Apogee's Aphelion product.
- Assistance with porting the VM to the target, and setting up an appropriate development environment.
- Support and training for OSGI, one of the most exciting Java technomogies for devices.
- Help in developing application- and platform-specific software, for example native-code interfaces to deviced drivers or non-Java resident applications.
