Hello, my name is Utku Ozcan, a chip designer in Turkey. Congratulations with this new mailing list. I am sure I will get invaluable information about computer...
This mailing list covers topics related to Java for embedded devices. It is centered, but not limited to, around a Java processor (JOP) as an example for...
Hi guys, I guess I'm a bit inappropriate or at least early here -> I'm a software guy :-) Java, C/C++ and that kind of stuff is my world. - Can somebody tell...
Hi Rudy, ... No, your question is appropriate and definitely not too early. Good to get a start of the discussion ;-) ... In my opinion JOP is ready for...
Hi Martin, sounds great ... I've looked into the implementation and found Thread to be doing nothing - are you going to support Threads ? I absolutely...
Hi Rudy, ... The first implementation of multi-threading was with plain java.lang.Thread. For real-time Java I decided to create a new class (joprt.RtThread)...
Hi Martin, ... As you may have figured: I own SNAPs - if you want something to be run, just hand me the benchmark ... ... Sorry if I didn't specify clearly...
Hi Rudy, ... Oh, I missed that point. The benchmark is at: http://www.jopdesign.com/perf.jsp They should run on almost any embedded Java system. I've used them...
While I was researching different VHDL tools, I ran across a very interesting project called JHDL. The purpose of the project is to produce a set of APIs that...
... Looks interesting, perhaps a way for a full system development. However, it's a little bit verbose for basic opearations like add. In VHDL you just wrtie a...
... Indeed it is quite verbose. OTOH, that is the Java way. Instead of using operator overloading to support ADTs, Java programmers must make use of method...
Hi all, Some properties of Java bytecode, such as only relative branches, lead to a new idea of an intruction cache: A method cache, where whole methods are...
Hi everybody I have just signed up for this group. I am a professor in hardware-design here at the Technical University of Copenhagen and I am working a lot...
Hi Mogens, The port address in the doit.bar file is on a line that looks like this: ..\..\down -e dist\bin\test_Clock.jop COM9 Just change the last part (COM9)...

Hi Martin, I read through your paper, and I think that's a great idea! Anything that takes advantage of common code structure is more likely than not to reduce...
... That's also part of a more general idea I'm thinking about. The question is: How would a processor architecture and operating system architecture look like...
I think you've pretty much hit the nail on the head. Java has no pointers, so we can safely assume that data integrity will be maintained at all times....
Thanks for your vote of confidence. It's funny you should mention the JGC project, because I'm actually buttering up Javalobby before announcing it. I have to...
I tried to build something similar to JGC last year based on JOP. The basic idea was to connect a Spartan 3 to an SDRAM SODIMM, a video encoder, a sound...
Interesting. That sounds almost exactly like my goal. How did your project fare? Thanks, Jerason Banes http://jgcwiki.datadino.com Last Journal Entry: 11/30/04...
Unfortunately, it didn't fare well. I had some difficulty in getting the SDRAM controller working in my prototypes. After much testing of my code, I...
... Yes the class library is almost non existing. However, for a lot of embedded applications you need different libraries. And another point is the...
... The watchdog pin/LED is of no use on the Spartan-3 Starter Kit as there is no watchdog. I'm using a watchdog on my Cyclone boards as another hardware...
... That's rough. Board designs are always the hardest to debug, and the most expensive to fix. Were you using through-hole breadboard for the prototyping, or...
... Ok, scratch that. The dt.jar is just supporting classes (which looks like primarily is what is loaded with your command). I found the actual classes.jar...
... No, I disagree. These classe are loaded due to real dependencies. Take a look in the classpath source. The JDK contains several thousand classes and it...
... SystemC is quite common among SoC guys around the world, and as Martin stated, there is lack of EDA tools handling SystemC. I think Synopsys has some tools...
