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.
