Aonix intros PERC JVM for BeagleBoard

SAN DIEGO, USA: Aonix, the provider of the PERC product line for embedded and real-time Java developers, announced Java virtual machine support for BeagleBoard with its flagship product PERC Ultra.

More developers and projects will be able to quickly and more cost efficiently launch development that takes advantage of PERC’s new graphics support via the ARM-based BeagleBoard said the press release.

“For projects planning final deployment on ARM processors, PERC Ultra and the BeagleBoard are a great combination,” said Gary Cato, Director of Marketing at Aonix.

PERC Ultra holds the distinction of being the most deployed embedded and real-time standard edition virtual machine on the market with hundreds of thousands of fielded systems, and demonstrating 5-9s uptime reliability.

“We’re very pleased that Aonix has ported and tested PERC against the BeagleBoard,” notes Dave Doherty, vice president, semiconductor product, Digi-Key Corporation. “This is proof-positive that we have achieved the goal of putting low-cost horsepower in the hands of serious developer.”

According to the press release, PERC ULTRA 5.3 has newly implemented AWT/Swing libraries for embedded platforms giving 2D/3D graphics developers the immediate availability of hundreds of downloadable community projects.
