[avr-chat] JVM for AVR

[Till Harbaum]

Hi,

i just found the a request for a AVR JVM in the list logs. I wrote a simple 
JVM for AVR that even runs on a Mega8. See http://www.harbaum.org/till/nanovm 
for details.

The VM itself currently isn't open source (it probably will be soon), but the 
converter tools already are. The whole project was meant to make Asuro (a AVR 
based robot) programming a little simpler. There are still two things that 
are IMHO required to make everything really simple: A convenient way to 
install and use Suns comm api to allow my upload tool to access the target 
system via the pcs rs232 and a eclipse plugin.

Besides the Asuro version i have a simple generic Mega8 version of the NanoVM 
which comes with native classes to access simple io ports and to use a timer 
and of course the RS232 (for console output). This is e.g. sufficient to 
write a simple "traffic lights" like applications. There isn't much space 
left of the Mega8's 8k flash, but e.g. some simple native ADC/PWM classes may 
still fit into there. 

Ciao,
  Till
