Fast Java
Want fast Java programs? Then start with Aonix’s All-Java solution. It is especially good in hybrid environments that mix Java and C. In fact, replacing C code with Java executing in Aonix’s PERC Pico environment may actually result in significant performance advantages.

ESC 2007 San Jose: Day 2
Al Gore was a big hit as the keynote speaker today at the Embedded Systems Conference. I took six pages of notes, but I doubt I’ll be able to present it as eloquently or humorously as former Vice President and “recovering politician” Gore did. Hopefully, CMP will post the presentation online. Photos and recording devices weren’t permitted....

Another 32-bit Core Goes On A Diet
Putting out a new 32-bit microcontroller architecture is not something vendors do every day but last year Atmel introduced the AVR32 line of microcontrollers. The first version targeted the high end of the spectrum. At this year’s ESC, Atmel is working to fill in the other end of the spectrum.

ZigBee For Under $5
Jennic is looking to make a splash with its JN5139 wireless microcontroller that can lead to wireless sensor network modules with a bill of materials (BOM) for well
under $5. This includes also the cost of a high performance PCB antenna design and all support parts. The reference design they were showing off at ESC provides excellent RF
performance with a range in excess of 1Km.
