Enea Embedded Technology Announces Java 2 Micro Edition Solution based on IBM's WebSphere Micro Environment for the OSE Real-Time Operating System.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers STOCKHOLM, Sweden, & CANNES, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2004 Enables Application Interoperability on Next-Generation Wireless Devices Using IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) Technology Enea Embedded Technology, a leading provider of operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. solutions for the telecom market, today announced the availability of a Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME (Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition) A version of Java 2 for cellphones, PDAs and consumer appliances. J2ME uses the K Virtual Machine (KVM), a specialized Java interpreter for devices with limited memory. (TM)) solution based on IBM's WebSphere Micro Environment (WME WME Windows Media Encoder (filename extension) WME Windows Millennium Edition (Microsoft) WME Weapons of Mass Effect WME Wintermute Engine WME Wireless Multimedia Enhancements WME Working Memory Element ) for the OSE OSE - Open Systems Environment real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. (RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. ). OSE users can now take advantage of IBM's highly optimized certified Java Powered(TM) technology to enable application interoperability with a wide variety of devices. OSE support also includes development tools based on IBM's WebSphere Studio Device Developer. The integration of WME with OSE provides an open run-time solution that is compliant with the official Java specification for 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. ). As next-generation wireless devices and applications become more common, the need for interoperable platforms using open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced will continue to increase. The WebSphere Micro Environment is certified to the J2ME standard, making it officially Java Powered(TM), and enabling Java applications running on devices equipped with the OSE RTOS and WebSphere Micro Environment to interoperate with other Java Powered devices. "The demand for Java technology in embedded systems has increased since the new Java 2 Micro Edition specification became available," said Eva Skoglund, product marketing manager at Enea Embedded Technology. "The need for certified Java solutions is particularly strong in markets where application interoperability is a requirement such as next-generation wireless devices." WebSphere Micro Environment is a Java run-time environment (language) Java Run-Time Environment - (JRE) The part of the Java Development Kit required to run Java programs. The JRE consists of the Java Virtual Machine, the Java platform core classes and supporting files. . Optimized for high-performance embedded consumer devices like feature phones and smart phones that have tight size and memory constraints. Together with the resource saving and compact, OSE RTOS, WebSphere provides the ideal open platform for cost and power efficient wireless devices. The J2ME solution for OSE features a powerful set of tools, including a complete Java IDE and accessory plug-ins such as profiling and system analyzing, all based on IBM's WebSphere Studio Device Developer. These development tools can be used in target as well as host environments on a PC or workstation. All Java run-times and tools are integrated with the OSE Soft Kernel and Soft Environment, which simulate the complete OSE operating system on a Windows, UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). or Linux operating system. This enables Java applications to be developed in a desktop environment and then easily moved to the target system. The OSE operating system is a scalable RTOS solution for embedded devices. OSE offers a complete range of functionality for modern mobile phones, such as crash safe file system with advanced flash support, efficient power management for longer battery life, memory management (including full MMU (Memory Management Unit) The part of the computer that governs memory access. Either part of the CPU chip or housed on separate chips, the MMU controls memory partitions and virtual memory. See memory and virtual memory. MMU - Memory Management Unit support) and dynamic software updates. OSE is the only commercially available OS that supports distributed, multi-core systems with ARM and digital signal processors typically found in mobile phones. With OSE, manufacturers need only one operating system for the modem and application units, which greatly simplify mobile phone development and reduces cost. Availability The J2ME engine, class libraries and tools for OSE are available now from Enea Embedded Technology. Pricing information can be obtained directly via the local OSE offices. Certification has been performed on an ARM reference board. OSE is a registered trademark of Enea Embedded Technology.
