There has been a crazy idea for me to embed kaffe VM or phoneme CDC vm to

Yeah, don't think the kernel crowd would be particularly inspired by this
idea:-)
Maybe Java OS might be more specific and practical :) . Anyway ,it is
on my ToDO list.
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)".
if you wanna do hardware acceleration ,we could consider libJIT which
is mentioned Kaffe document.
I've been as a JVM developer for mobile & CE devices. Maybe I would be
glad to help you make you do a port to AVR32 ,but I am in China,the AVR
board might not be easy to find in public market ..
That sounds very good! 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.
Yep,both Kaffe and JamVM are good thing to learn. What kind of
applications would you want to run on AVR32? On low-end devices,enable
JIT would be expensive.
Now that JamVM is working on AVR32,maybe we need some benchmark or
something.
I have said that I would be glad and interested to help a fresh port
on AVR32 ,so i think JamVM would be fine..:)
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.
That would be great.... There should be many experts here.....:)
Thanks
