Java Virtual Machine and Its Porting

A Java virtual machine based on an embedded platform is explored and implemented. A Motorola MPC555 ETAS evaluation board is employed during the development, and RTXC is the embedded operation system under the JVM. The whole Java virtual machine can be scheduled within the RTXC system. Furthermore, some simple Java applications can be executed with the ported Java virtual machine. This JVM implementation shows as a guideline for Java virtual machine realization in embedded systems.
