AbstractJava is getting more and more important in embedded systems. However, there are several obstacles like the poor real-time capability, the garbage collection, and the need for a sufficient runtime environment. We present the jamuth Java framework which provides a multithreaded Java processor as IP core for programmable logic devices (FPGAs), a runtime system, and the necessary offline tools. The framework provides CDC compatibility and real-time support for embedded systems as well as a powerful garbage collection.

Size And Structure

AbstractThe Dynamic Execution Integrity Engine (DExIE) is a lightweight hardware monitor that can be flexibly attached to many IoT-class processor pipelines. It is guaranteed to catch both inter- and intra-function illegal control flows in time to prevent any illegal instructions from touching memory. The performance impact of attaching DExIE to a core depends on the concrete pipeline structure. In some especially suitable cases, extending a processor with DExIE will have no performance penalty. DExIE is real-time capable, as it causes no or only up to 10.4 % additional and then predictable pipeline stalls. Depending on the monitored processor’s size and structure, DExIE is faster than software-based monitoring and often smaller than a separate guard processor. We present not just the hardware architecture, but also the automated programming flow, and discuss compact adaptable storage formats to hold fine-grained control flow information.
