Hi all,
I need a JRE (1.5 or 1.6) that will run on Mips64 BE. Looking at what T2
has to offer, it seems like there are mostly binary versions for x86.
Does any one know offhand if T2 has a package for a JRE that will run on
Mips64-BE? I just want to double check before I start doing things from
scratch.
I do not need any thing fancy or exotic, just a basic JRE to run some
non graphical Java programs.
Sun does not support the Mips platform in their binary releases, so it
looks like I will have to cross build an alternative JRE.
Things that I am currently looking at:
Gnu Classpath for main Libraries.
JamVm : Easy to cross build, but only supports Mips32 Little Endian,
will need some porting effort for Mips64-BE.
Cacao: Looks like it supports all versions of Mips processors, but need
to double check this. This VM may me missing some features.
OpenJdk/IcedTea (Zero port JVM): This version of the JVM has no
assembly code, so it should run on anything, but will be slower than
other implementations. Also is very difficult to cross compile.
Any ideas, suggestions or information on how a JRE is set up in a T2
Environment would be helpful.
If I do end up doing it from scratch, I will do it as a separate overlay
first, and then try to port it into the T2 package format once it is
working.
