Wednesday, Austin, Texas-based semiconductor company Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (FSL) and Sun Microsystems, Inc. (JAVA, JAVA.L) are preparing to create an implementation of Java SE for Embedded that is optimized to leverage the outstanding hardware acceleration, gigahertz performance, and ultra-low power capabilities of the PowerQUICC III processor family, helping developers and systems designers to incorporate the functionality, security, and portability of the Java SE platform into embedded systems.
Java SE for Embedded is a lightweight, high-performance version of the Java platform customized for embedded applications, providing specific features, including a small footprint Java Runtime Environment, headless configurations, memory optimizations, and additional platform support. A fully certified version of Java SE Embedded optimized for the PowerQUICC III family is expected be available from Sun Microsystems in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Freescale will demonstrate a preliminary version of the implementation running on its MPC8544 device at the Freescale Technology Forum taking place this week in Tokyo.
