ORACLE JAVA ME EMBEDDED

AN OPEN AND CROSS-INDUSTRY PLATFORM FOR THE INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) KEY FEATURES Best-in-class Java Virtual Machine, including advanced multi-tasking capabilities, tuned for efficiency, footprint and robust operations Supports headless operations (for devices with no UI) Remote application configuration, management and updatability Pre-Integrated APIs for standard services; Access to peripheral I/O through easy to use Device Access APIs Support for key functionality of embedded devices such as auto-start and recovery, flexible networking; also offers extensibility for devices target use cases Support for ARM Cortex-M3, ARM9, and ARM11 based processors. Available as reference implementations for development boards with representative chipsets for these architectures Emulation environment on Windows platform provided via Java ME SDK

Oracle Java ME Embedded is a complete Java runtime client, optimized for ARM architecture connected microcontrollers and other resourceconstrained systems. The product provides dedicated embedded functionality and is targeted for low-power, limited memory devices requiring support for a range of network services and I/O interfaces.
Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) - the most broadly deployed application platform for resource constrained devices
Oracle Java ME Embedded is designed to meet the needs of intelligent and connected services on resource constrained devices, such as those found in Wireless Modules, Building and Industrial Controllers, Smart Meters, Tracking Systems, Environmental Monitors, Telehealth, Home Automation devices and Vending Machines. Built on an optimized implementation of Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME), Oracle Java ME Embedded enables a robust and proven application platform supporting in-field software updates and system management without compromising on system integrity.

What are the key highlights of Oracle Java ME Embedded?

As detailed in figure 1 below, Oracle Java ME Embedded versions 3.3 and 3.4 include: Separation of Java runtime from underlying hardware/OS platform: the standardized and platform agnostic porting layer enables rapid deployment of the full Java stack across a wide range of device/OS combinations by Oracle and authorized Oracle partners Connected Limited Device Configuration/Information Module Profile (CLDC/IMP-NG) based Java runtime enhanced by Oracle to support Multitasking, On-device debugging and configuration of the Virtual Machine Pre-Integrated APIs for standard services File I/O (JSR 75), Wireless Messaging (JSR 120), Web Services (JSR 172), Security and Trust Services Subset (SATSA JSR 177), Location (JSR 179), XML (JSR 280) Pre-integrated Application Management System (AMS) APIs - enabling remote application configuration, management and updatability Full headless operation APIs for access to peripheral I/O such as GPIO, I2C, SPI, serial, SD Card APIs for enhanced access to multiple data communication channels Support within the Java ME SDK for Embedded development delivering free tooling for NetBeans and Eclipse IDEs

KEY BENEFITS Complete solution - high-performance, comprehensive implementation of Java ME standards with free and easy to use development and debugging tools Faster time-to-market reference implementations for evaluation and prototyping on industry standard device/chipset types A mature ecosystem harnesses the advantages of an established ecosystem of Java developers and knowledgebase Secure software environment - Built on Java standards thus providing a cross platform, robust and secure environment that the applications and services on connected devices need

Figure 1. Oracle Java ME Embedded Product Stack

Supported device platforms

Oracle Java ME Embedded is a cross-industry and cross-platform product, with the latest releases v. 3.3 and v. 3.4 providing support for chipsets based on the ARM architectures. The following implementations of the product are available to enable fast track development and evaluation: Cortex-M3/RTX reference implementation for KEIL Evaluation Board MCBSTM32F200 using STM32F207IG chipset ARM11/Linux reference implementation for Raspberry Pi Model B development board using BCM2835 chipset ARM9/BREW MP reference implementation for Qualcomm IoE development platform using the QSC6270T chipset X86/Windows emulation - development environment available for both NetBeans and Eclipse IDEs via Java ME SDK Additional platforms can be enabled and supported by Oracle Engineering Services and Oracle Partners. Oracle Java ME Embedded has an extensible and portable architecture to address the needs of diverse embedded markets

Capable of being used on a range of devices

Oracle Java ME Embedded has a blend of functionality and optionality for a range of small embedded systems with the following typical characteristics: Systems based on ARM architecture SOCs (including ARM9, ARM11, and CortexM, Cortex-R, and Cortex-A chips) 130 KB RAM, 350 KB ROM for a minimal, customized configuration (CLDC, IMP-NG) to 700 KB RAM, 2000 KB ROM for a full, standard configuration Always-on devices Requiring support for I/O over a variety of interfaces Built-in network connectivity. Wired/wireless. Always/intermittently connected Devices without a UI (thus requiring headless operations) Having very simple embedded kernel, or a more capable embedded OS/RTOS

Comprehensive tool-chain improves developer productivity

Oracles Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) Software Development Kit (SDK), together with provided plug-ins for the NetBeans and Eclipse IDEs, delivers a complete development environment for embedded application development. With these tools, developers can write, edit, compile, package, sign, and obfuscate their applications. The applications can then be tested and debugged on Windows desktops using embedded device emulators and built-in support for profiling and network monitoring. Also provided is the ability to deploy, debug (at Java source level) and test the applications directly on the target hardware, thus enabling developers to produce better quality, higher performance applications.
