Abstract

This article shows how it is possible to place a great part of a Java system in read-only memory in order to fit with the requirements of tiny devices. Java systems for such devices are commonly deployed off-board, then embedded on the target device in a ready-to-run form. Our approach is to go as far as possible in this deployment, in order to maximize the amount of data placed in read-only memory. Doing so, we are also able to reduce the overall size of the system.
