A bunch of folks on this list have asked to see Sentilla's Java Platform -- they were skeptical that we were actually running Java on real motes. We're giving a preview of Sentilla's software at JavaOne next week for only $199, its a preview of our full product that our commercial customers are using. If you want to get a demo, a taste, of what it takes to run Java on a tiny MSP430 computer, come pick up a Sentilla Perk kit. Its only available to those at JavaOne, so ask nicely to the folks at the South Moscone booth who are selling the official JavaOne Show Device (that's Sentilla Perk) and maybe they'll give you one (btw, students can get into JavaOne for free -- hint, check out http://blog.sentilla.com).
We put a full Java system in the same resource constraints that most others are just putting networking code. There's over-the-air app loading, management, networking, sensor and actuator drivers, a Java environment including Isolates and ThreadGroups, the full Java CLDC 1.1 spec implementation, and a whole bunch of other stuff. All of this fits in 48kb. Wicked cool. I've been working on it for at least 3 years at Sentilla with over 8 years of research, which was motivated by my experience with TinyOS, that led to this point. I'm excited to get it into your hands. Fundamentally it lets anyone that knows Java write applications for motes. That's pretty cool. I'm mentioning it here because I want this group to try it out, innovate way beyond what we have, and provide feedback. If you can't make it to JavaOne, please post any questions you have to the blog and we'll try to answer them for you. Sentilla Perk is only available at JavaOne, so ask your bay area friends to pick one up for you. http://blog.sentilla.com/2008/05/sentilla-announces-worlds-smal.php If you're into the whole press release thing, you can check that out here... http://www.sentilla.com/pr-20080501.html http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/pr/2008-04/sunflash.20080430.2.xml Shoot me any questions, or I can cross-post them to the blog...
