ACCESS Co., Ltd. introduced JV-LiteTM2 Wireless Edition, a Sun-Authorized Virtual Machine (VM) that speeds the development of JavaTM-enabled cell phones and Internet appliance applications. Java-enabled devices will be able to download and store applications, such as games, eliminating the need to be connected online. Java-enabled devices also can be set up so that constantly changing information, such as stock quotes, weather, etc., can be automatically updated at pre-set times. JV-Lite2 Wireless Edition is optimized for integration with ACCESS' proven Compact NetFront browser, the industry's first and the most popular micro browser based on the Compact HTML standard. ACCESS will demonstrate JV-Lite2 Wireless Edition in its booth #1316 at the JavaOne Conference in San Francisco, June 4-8, 2001.
JV-Lite2 Wireless Edition ensures full compatibility with Sun's J2ME Connected Limited Device Configuration CLDC and Mobile Information Device Profile MIDP through the TCK(Java Technology Compatibility Kit) certification process. JV-Lite2 Wireless Edition also supports "iappli", which is NTT DoCoMo's Java application service for their i-mode service.
With this new capability, ACCESS provides three Java product lineups to cover each Java technology environment: · JV-Lite2 Embedded Edition - EmbeddedJava(tm) 1.1 compatible · JV-Lite2 Personal Edition - PersonalJava(tm) 1.2a compatible · JV-Lite2 Wireless Edition - J2ME CLDC 1.0 and MIDP 1.0a compatible All of these products are now ready for shipment. JV-Lite2 Wireless Edition evaluation software for the Linux platform will be available at the end of June.
"As a pioneer Sun authorized Java VM supplier, we believe Java can enable many useful applications on cell phones. By providing a close integration between our JV-Lite2 and Compact NetFront browser, we can help handset manufacturers quickly and easily integrate Java features into next-generation phones," stated Toru Arakawa, president and CEO of ACCESS.
JV-Lite2 VM is a clean room implementation by ACCESS, which has 17 years embedded expertise. Through its optimization technology, it allows consumer Internet appliances to enjoy the benefits of Java technology, including a robust application environment, easy application development and high portability within an environment with limited memory resources and CPU power. It runs on real-time operating systems such as Linux, VxWorks, and micro-ITRON. Since JV-Lite2 is integrated on ACCESS' WAVE (Window-based Abstract Virtual Environment), a simplified window manager, it can easily be ported to a wide range of CPUs and real-time operating systems.
JV-Lite2 Wireless Edition is optimized for integration with ACCESS' Compact NetFront micro browser. JV-Lite2 can share code and RAM with the browser. For example, JV-Lite2 can use browser components such as SSL and HTTP. Furthermore, JV-Lite2 can utilize the browser heap memory, reducing overall memory for resource-constrained environments. With 300KB browser heap allocation, it enables Java VM and application execution. In addition, since JV-Lite2 is implemented on top of the same WAVE system as the browser, porting work is minimal to Compact NetFront equipped browser phones. For the combined solutions, JV-Lite2 Wireless Edition provides JAM (Java Application Manager) reference sample code, so that users can develop the UI design easily with WAVE component for Java application control from the browser user interface.
In addition to the Compact NetFront browser, ACCESS offers optional modules such as AVE-TCP IPv4 and IPv6 dual protocol stacks and AVE-File file systems to build up the total embedded Internet software portfolio.
