MicroEJ VEE CORE
MicroEJ OS Core provides a secure engine that can run multiple applications. It is based on an optimized – for performance – and compact – for footprint: down to 30 KB – Java virtual machine (JVM) running its own compact HW-independent code so applications can be binary portable across the variety of embedded processor architectures and do not depend on a particular C/C++ compiler. The JVM performs runtime checks and exception handling well-known by Java developers for easing application robustness and debug.
The MicroEJ OS Core can run on “bare metal” hardware or on top of any underlying real-time operating system (RTOS) such as FreeRTOS, Micrium µC/OS, Express Logic ThreadX, SEGGER embOS, Green Hills Sofwtare Integrity, Wind River VxWorks, Linux and others. Java threads are managed by the JVM predictive scheduler – which itself is a thread of the underlying RTOS in the case MicroEJ OS runs on an RTOS.

MicroEJ Core OS provides a smart RAM optimizer (known as garbage collector or gc) for the management of Java objects so there are no memory leaks or rogue pointers, and no memory fragmentation.
MicroEJ OS also uses a shared C-Java heap for immortal objects (fixed address, untouched by gc) that allow zero copy buffers and are compatible with DMA systems. MicroEJ OS manages static persistent objects in flash called immutable objects.

MicroEJ OS controls the CPU allocation per application to ensure quality of service. It manages app permissions to access system resources in order to enforce security policies.
MicroEJ OS also provides an efficient power management API to control the power states of HW components.

MicroEJ OS allows static and dynamic app code loading and manages the lifecycle of binary apps – install, start, stop, uninstall.
MicroEJ OS uses a sandboxing technique to isolate the execution contexts of binary apps so apps cannot crash each other or the entire system. It also allows efficient inter-app communications. MicroEJ OS controls which OS API are available to apps – as defined by the device software developer – so apps cannot access critical system functions – whether for footprint, security, business or IP protection reasons.

MicroEJ OS core provides an efficient Java-to-C native interface so integration of legacy C/C++ code to MicroEJ OS or applications is optimal.
Additional utilities, logger, and localization features are available to ease application development.
A test suite harness allows hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
Performance traces can be obtained for graphics (frame-per-second or FPS), CPU load (%),and threads.
