  • 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).

Having applications run unchanged on multiple platforms may be an impossible goal, yet a significant challenge is also presented by vendors “extending” published specifications to achieve competitive advantage.

The Android Dalvik Virtual Machine implemented for ARM cores is used as a reference for the development of a VM API for stop-mode debugging. Two Debug Worlds For developers, Android is an open-source software stack consisting of the following components (see Fig. 5): • A Linux kernel with its hardware drivers. • Android Runtime with Dalvik Virtual Machine and a series of libraries: classic Java core libraries, Android- specific libraries, and libraries written in C / C++. • Applications programmed in Java and their supporting Application Framework. Software for Android is written in various languages: Fig. 6: In stop-mode debugging, the debugger communicates directly with the processor on the Android hardware platform. • The Linux kernel, some libraries, and the Dalvik Virtual Machine are coded in C, C++, or Assembler.
