[iot-pmc] How-to run Zulu Embedded ARM32 on Raspberry Pi

[Benjamin Cabé <benjamin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've just blogged about how to install Zulu Embedded JVM on Raspberry Pi. https://blog.benjamin-cabe.com/2016/04/05/installing-the-zulu-open-source-java-virtual-machine-on-raspberry-pi

Zulu is a 100% open-source, royalty-free JVM that is now also compatible with ARM32, which means it can run on platforms like Raspberry Pi. It would be great to see Eclipse IoT projects like Eclipse Kura, Eclipse SmartHome, Eclipse Leshan and others give it a try and report their experience. FWIW I've experimented Kura and it works pretty much seamlessly.

Zulu Embedded is available in the different Java SE Embedded Compact Profiles, as well as a full SE API (headless version). It's in early-access version at the moment, but I think it looks like a very interesting underlying platform for Java-based Eclipse IoT projects that are targeting embedded.
