San Francisco; Embedded Systems Conference — (press release excerpt) — Elmic Systems announced the general availability in the United States of eVM, a new embedded system software product that provides easy connectivity with Linux source code. Co-developed with Openloop, Inc. of Japan, eVM has the same functionality as Sun Microsystems' K Virtual Machine (KVM), a highly-optimized Java virtual machine… which provides the foundation for the downloading and execution of dynamic content and services. However, eVM has additional, robust capabilities which enable networking and easy integration with Linux.

eVM was designed to simplify and shorten the product development cycle by developers who use Java technology in the creation and deployment of wireless interactive services and applications. eVM has a small memory footprint starting at 250KB, and requires less processing power in resource-constrained consumer devices such as pagers, smart wireless phones, and Personal Digital Assistants (PDA's).

eVM was developed based on the Java 2 Platform Micro Edition (J2ME) architecture. Suitable for devices with 16/32-bit RISC/CISC microprocessors, eVM supports Hard Hat Linux, Turbo Linux, and Red Hat Linux. Elmic Systems plans to support other CPU's and real-time operating systems, as well as other features requested by its customers.
