 Atmel and IS2T take Java to embedded systems software domain


Atmel and IS2T S.A. have announced Java based embedded software platform called MicroJvm to design embedded applications for Flash microcontrollers. Through this Java based software tools, RTOS developers can design their embedded software, which is five times faster than C/C++ based technologies.

Atmel says, MicroJvm offers small memory footprint, and has optimized software library bundles. This platform is targeted at AVR32 UC3 Microcontroller family from Atmel.

The embedded Java platforms from IS2T is touted as better alternative platforms in comparison to embedded Linux and Windows CE/MF with advantage of low cost and a better option for RTOS applications.

These Java platforms are ideal for designing devices with communication links, LCD displays and sensors. Suggested application includes machine-to-machine, e-metering, home automation and consumer.
The maintenance costs are reduced due to its binary-level application reuse across different device hardware configurations and remote dynamic updates.

Generally embedded developers are struck with traditional C/C++ to reach higher software quality and better design productivity without sacrificing performance. The great benefit Java in an embedded system is the fact that the Java code can be reused throughout the lifetime of a product without having to re-develop the application software if the CPU is upgraded or the display supplier changes.

IS2T also provide the IceTea Java accelerator technology to improve software library execution speed. Overall, complex applications running on MicroJvm virtual machine have less than 5ms starting time and are less than 15% slower than their C implementation counterparts. These parameters make this Java platform more suitable for RTOS applications.


MicroEJ AVR32 Java Platform Kits (JPK) and MicroEJ Eclipse Workbench assist software designers to write Java applications in AVR32 Studio. Using MicroEJ, developers can debug Java programs on the Java Smart Software Simulator (S3) without embedded hardware or directly on targets at Java source level using JDWP Eclipse debugger. MicroEJ Eclipse Workbench and MicroEJ JPK development / evaluation licenses for AVR32 UC3 architecture are available directly from IS2T. Development license fees for MicroEJ JPK are an annual enterprise level per-user fee including support and maintenance. A manufacturing contract for MicroJvm virtual machine run-time duplications is required. MicroEJ Eclipse Workbench is free of charge.
