An OSEK/VDX-Based Multi-JVM for Automotive Appliances
AN OSEK/VDX-BASED MULTI-JVM FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLIANCES Christian Wawersich, Michael Stilkerich, Wolfgang Schr¨oder-Preikschat University of Erlangen-Nuremberg Distributed Systems and Operating Systems Erlangen, Germany E-Mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The automotive industry has recent ambitions to integrate multiple applications from different micro controllers on a single, more powerful micro controller. The outcome of this integration process is the loss of the physical isolation and a more complex monolithic software. Memory protection mechanisms need to be provided that allow for a safe co-existence of heterogeneous software from different vendors on the same hardware, in order to prevent the spreading of an error to the other applications on the controller and leaving an unclear responsi- bility situation. With our prototype system KESO, we present a Java-based solution for ro- bust and safe embedded real-time systems that does not require any hardware protection mechanisms. Based on an OSEK/VDX operating system, we offer a familiar system creation process to developers of embedded software and also provide the key benefits of Java to the embedded world. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first Multi-JVM for OSEK/VDX operating systems. We report on our experiences in integrating Java and an em- bedded operating system with focus on the footprint and the real-time capabili- ties of the system. Keywords: Java, Embedded Real-Time Systems, Automotive, Isolation, KESO 1. INTRODUCTION Modern cars contain a multitude of micro controllers for a wide area of tasks, ranging from convenience features such as the supervision of the car’s audio system to safety relevant functions such as assisting the braking system of the car. -
A Hardware Abstraction Layer in Java
A Hardware Abstraction Layer in Java MARTIN SCHOEBERL Vienna University of Technology, Austria STEPHAN KORSHOLM Aalborg University, Denmark TOMAS KALIBERA Purdue University, USA and ANDERS P. RAVN Aalborg University, Denmark Embedded systems use specialized hardware devices to interact with their environment, and since they have to be dependable, it is attractive to use a modern, type-safe programming language like Java to develop programs for them. Standard Java, as a platform independent language, delegates access to devices, direct memory access, and interrupt handling to some underlying operating system or kernel, but in the embedded systems domain resources are scarce and a Java virtual machine (JVM) without an underlying middleware is an attractive architecture. The contribution of this paper is a proposal for Java packages with hardware objects and interrupt handlers that interface to such a JVM. We provide implementations of the proposal directly in hardware, as extensions of standard interpreters, and finally with an operating system middleware. The latter solution is mainly seen as a migration path allowing Java programs to coexist with legacy system components. An important aspect of the proposal is that it is compatible with the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ).
