ACCESS JV-Lite2 Earns the Sun Authorized Virtual Machine Brand; Conformant with the EmbeddedJava Specification, Sun Authorized Virtual Machine Debuts at JavaOne Conference in San Francisco.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers JavaOne 2000 Booth 1407 MILPITAS, Calif./TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2000 ACCESS Co., Ltd. announced today that it has gained Sun Authorized Virtual Machine status for its product, JV-Lite2 Embedded Edition ver.1.0, an implementation of the EmbeddedJavaTM Application Environment, version 1.0.3, the first in a series of JV-Lite2 products. To earn this right, ACCESS completed Sun Microsystem's EmbeddedJava Compatibility Kit (EJCK) certification process. ACCESS is one of the first companies to develop a Java Virtual Machine A Java interpreter. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is software that converts the Java intermediate language (bytecode) into machine language and executes it. The original JVM came from the JavaSoft division of Sun. implementation that passed Sun's extensive EJCK certification. ACCESS will demonstrate JV-Lite2 in its booth #1407 at the JavaOne Conference in San Francisco, June 6-9, 2000. ACCESS demonstration will showcase GlobeWareTM, a set of middleware based on Java technology jointly developed with the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO TEPCO Tokyo Electric Power Co. (Japan) ). TEPCO's Home Gateway Server and building maintenance application will be demonstrated, employing GlobeWare and JV-Lite2 Embedded Edition ver.1.0. "Access, with its strong presence in the consumer embedded device markets such as mobile phones, PDAs and home video game consoles This is a list of video game consoles by the era they appeared in. Eras are named based on the dominant console type of the era (even though not all consoles of those eras are of the same type). Some eras are referred to based on how many bits a major console could process. , is an important channel partner providing an optimized Sun Authorized Virtual Machine," said Curtis Sasaki, director of product marketing, Consumer Technologies, Sun Microsystems. "Now that JV-Lite2 has passed the EJCK certification process, consumer embedded device manufacturers will benefit significantly by having a compatible implementation of the EmbeddedJava environment." With JV-Lite2, ACCESS has integrated the EmbeddedJava and PersonalJavaTM class libraries licensed from Sun Microsystems. JV-Lite2 has passed the stringent certification processing consisting of several thousand comprehensive tests within the EJCK. JV-Lite2 is optimized for environments with limited resources that require all of the benefits of Java technology, including a robust application environment, easy application development and high portability. It runs on real-time operating systems such as Linux, VxWorks, and micron ITRON ITRON International Tidal Wetland Rice Observational Nursery ITRON Industrial The Real-time Operation Nucleus . Since JV-Lite2 is implemented on ACCESS simple window manager, WAVE (Window Abstract Virtual Environment), it can easily be ported to a wide range of hardware platforms. JV-Lite2 can also be integrated as part of a total Internet solution with ACCESS' other software products such as the AVE-TCP networking protocol stack, the AVE-HTTPD embedded web server Web server software embedded within a hardware device such as a print server. It is widely used in a myriad of devices, because it allows access to the software via any Web browser, typically for configuring the device or obtaining reports. See ETI and Web server. , the IrFront embedded IrDA stack, the NetFront and Compact NetFront embedded web browsers, the micron More micron ITRON-compliant real-time OS, and SSL security modules. Access is planning to introduce a JV-Lite2 implementation of the PersonalJava Application Environment, that will be tested against the PersonalJava test suites (PJCK PJCK Personal Java Compatibility Kit (certifies PJava port as Java compatible) ) in the third quarter of 2000. In subsequent releases, ACCESS is planning to support additional JavaTM 2 Platform Micro Edition technologies, such as Connected Device Configuration The Connected Device Configuration (CDC) is a framework for building Java ME applications on embedded devices ranging from pagers up to set-top boxes. However, there is also CLDC and MIDP to allow a more fine-grained distinction. (CDC See Control Data, century date change and Back Orifice. CDC - Control Data Corporation ), Connected Limited Device Configuration The Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) is a specification of a framework for Java ME applications targeted at devices with very limited resources such as pagers and mobile phones. The CLDC was developed under the Java Community Process as JSR 30 (CLDC 1. (CLDC See J2ME. ) and related profiles. JV-Lite2 builds on ACCESS' experience with JV-Lite, a cleanroom Java VM implementation that has been adopted by over 14 device manufacturers with over two million licensed copies since it was introduced in 1997. ACCESS is a leading provider of innovative embedded software solutions for Internet Appliances. The company's embedded browser software powers over 60 different commercial products including: i-mode phones for NTT DoCoMo; Sega's Dreamcast(TM) and Nitendo64 video game consoles; Internet TVs from Sharp and Mitsubishi; the Mulco(TM) set top box from NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. ; integrated word processors from Casio, Fujitsu, NEC and Sharp; personal digital assistants from Casio, Fujitsu, NEC, Panasonic and Sharp; and car navigation systems from Alpine. Over 9 million commercial software licenses have been shipped from more than 30 major consumer appliance manufacturers. More information is available at http://www.access-us-inc.com.
