/k/Embedded Java Solutions - Mi|k|a^(TM)

A low-cost, high-featured Java2^(TM) solution for "headless" embedded systems

Technical description	Mi\|k\|a is a stripped-down, customised port of the Wonka^(TM) VM for Java. The VM supports all Java2 features except the JNI Invocation API^, and the supplied class libraries are sufficient to run most existing embedded Java applications "out-of-the-box". Execution engine Optimised interpreter. Threading Can use own real-time scheduler operating within a single OS process/thread. Memory management Can use own heap manager operating on top of uClinux power-of-two allocator. Adaptive garbage collector makes optimal use of small heap sizes. () The JNI Invocation API is scheduled for inclusion in a forthcoming release.
Supported packages	Complete support (to 1.4.2 level): java.io java.lang java.lang.ref java.lang.reflect java.math java.net java.rmi java.security (optional) java.sql java.text java.util java.util.jar java.util.zip javax.comm (optional) javax.crypto (optional) javax.microedition.io (optional) Partial support, sufficient for most embedded applications: java.beans (optional) java.rmi.activation java.rmi.dgc Additional packages may be added from the Classpath project or from other open-source intiatives such as BouncyCastle, Jakarta.
AWT support	On optional AWT implementation is included, running directly on the framebuffer (no X server required).
JNI support	All JNI functions are supported, apart from the Invocation API.
Java2 Security	The Java2 fine-grained security model is supported, but can also be omitted at build-time to reduce overhead.
System requirements	Mi\|k\|a currently runs on ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and X86 architectures and the operating systems Linux, NetBSD, uClinux. Further ports are in preparation, enquire for details. The executable and class files require from 1.5 MB of flash storage, depending on options selected. Alternatively both can be NFS-mounted over the network. Absolute minimum free RAM is 4 MB, 8 MB recommended.
