------------------------------- Ok, where does this belief come from? Is it based on their experience of using Java on the 8051? Probably not. Thats because, no one seems to be doing it, you can't have experience on a non-existent product- see the early part of the thread...... http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=61997 So, why on earth do they think they are qualified to make such bold, definite statements? My experience with other JVMs shows that they are relatively bulky - one I reviewed not terribly long ago said "requires ONLY 512K of RAM" and 4Meg of ROM. That makes ME somewhat qualified to say "The 8051 is not really well suited to running JAVA" Since I have now worked in JAVA as well - hacking around someone elses rather nice program for reducing foucaultgrams you shouldn't get the idea I don't have a view based on observed fact rather than heresay. There are MANY processors MUCH more suited to JAVA than the 8052. Steve |
