java + linux + arm - bytecode question

Hi folks



Thanks for the answer to my previous thread.



I got two questions:



  1. is the bytecode produced by the java compiler for Linux, running in ARM architectures portable?
  2. How difficult is porting the Sun JVM to an embedded Linux architecture?


thanks for any help! Enrico

Of course it is. If not either the VM or the bytecode would violate the specs.

Blackdown.org and I believe Debian both have ARM implementations of SUNs VM. Doityourself is not recommended unless you have enough time and budget available *and* are willing to pass the expensive compatibility tests as required by SUN to call it a JAVA VM.

Hi Oliver,

thanks for your answer!

Do you mean that the bytecode produced for an ARM machine can be interpreted by a JVM running on a PC, and viceversa?

thanks again!

Enrico
