This project proposes to investigate an environment execution
especially tailored to embedded applications where interactions between
a microcontroller and reconfigurable device are particularly relevant,
and may require some real time constraints. The approach consists in
porting a framework to the embedded systems context. The new
environment, called eSLEE (embedded Service Logic Execution
Environment) will enhance the microcontroller with a running Java-based
environment enabling the deployment of component-oriented applications
and the management of (re-)configuration of specific IP-Cores into the
reconfigurable device (FPGA) that are required by the application. An
AES cryptographic IP-Core will be considered in order to provide a
security service to the application. Moreover a JAVA Virtual Machine
and a framework will be ported on a XScale processor platform . The
eSLEE will thus contribute to reduce time-to-market development of new
embedded services and rapid prototyping.
