MicroEJ® Accelerates the Creation of IoT Software for ARM Cortex-M and Cortex-A Processors
MicroEJ® OS operating system powers embedded, wearable and Internet of
Things (IoT) devices that run on ARM (News - Alert) microprocessor cores.
The system brings cross ARM architecture portability as it enables
binary software portability across ARM-based devices. Based on a
multi-application secure engine that provides a virtualization layer, it
enables applications written in the Java language to run as is (no
reprogramming or recompiling required) on all supported processors. The
rich set of pre-integrated libraries and application programming
interfaces (API), and the full set of development tools based on
Eclipse, ensure fast development of quality software. APIs include
graphical user interface (GUI), networking and security, connectivity
and inputs/outputs.
Management of multiple wired and wireless physical connectivity layers
and transport layers, based on the Internet Protocol (IP) or on
proprietary protocols, is also enabled by MicroEJ. Supporting a full
suite of IP-based stacks for interoperability with web services and IoT
cloud platforms for device management and data streaming, MicroEJ OS
enables a richer IoT user experience as it allows dynamic installation
and uninstallation of apps from the cloud for flexible software content
management. Online infrastructure for publishing and downloading apps is
provided by MicroEJ Store.
"The combination of MicroEJ OS and MicroEJ Store enables IoT device
manufacturers to deliver services to their users comparable to
smartphones and tablets, but with the power efficiency and cost
effectiveness of microcontrollers based on the ARM Cortex-M processor,"
said Fred Rivard, CEO of MicroEJ. "Manufacturers can use apps to adjust
the software content of their devices in the field, with more
flexibility than full firmware updates. It also enables them to deliver
apps that can give access to any cloud services, and to create an
ecosystem of third-party app developers."
Enhanced software execution capabilities are also offered by MicroEJ, as
it provides a framework that enables running multiple apps safely in
their own sandbox. Running apps in isolation from the system and from
each other means they have a minimal footprint overhead of a few
kilobytes.
"A compelling user experience and the ability to extend application
functionality are key to the success of consumer-facing smart connected
devices," said Charlene Marini, vice president of segment marketing,
ARM. "For software developers, this means having an easy way of creating
rich IoT experiences and once deployed, a fast and efficient way of
providing over-the-air device updates to ensure a lifetime of enhanced
functionality. MicroEJ's OS achieves that by providing a universal
software foundation through which compelling IoT device applications can
be delivered directly or through the MicroEJ Store."
MicroEJ OS supports ARM Cortex-M and Cortex-A processors, including
Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4, Cortex-M7, Cortex-A5, Cortex-A7 and
Cortex-A9, as well as heterogeneous multicore systems containing both
Cortex-A and Cortex-M processors. Devices from a wide range of
semiconductor vendors are supported, including NXP, Renesas Electronics
and STMicroelectronics (News - Alert).
