Yeah, don't think the kernel crowd would be particularly inspired by this idea:-) > Now I saw your idea, I guess you mean JIT on AVR32 ? Well, in "Java Technical Reference" from Atmel they call it "Java Extension Module (JEM)". > I've been as a JVM developer for mobile & CE devices.

Now, after I've written my first email to the kaffee ML, I found JamVM, which is smaller, and is already ported to AVR32! In pure software mode, of course. So, I think, we could start with that one. If you prefer kaffee, you are certainly most welcome to try to port it over too! We anyway have ti first get it run in software mode, before implementing hardware acceleration. As for the hardware - as I said, as soon as I get the board, I can provide an ssh login to it to you or any other interester parties. I could even provide a serial console, if that will be needed too. I think, this should be enough for the beginning.
