Robert Schuster, Ken Gilmer and Sebastian Mancke have successfully crosscompiled OpenJDK for ARM! This will make it possible to provide OpenJDK to all openembedded linux distributions running on home routers NAS drives and more. A great leap for embedded Java on ARM! http://rschuster.blogs.evolvis.org/2008/12/21/serving-cross-compiled-openjdk-with-icedtea/ Check out Roberts answers to the question section as well! http://rschuster.blogs.evolvis.org/2008/12/23/comments-on-latest-post-on-openjdk/ This is a great month!

These binarys for all ARM systems can be downloaded from: http://packages.debian.org/en/etch/java-gcj-compat or http://packages.debian.org/en/etch/jamvm You can then run java programs using Classpath + GIJ or jamvm using the java command.

Debian for ARM exists in two versions one called "arm" using OABI and one called "armel" using EABI both are for the same kind of ARM CPU's yet they differ in the way the registers inside the ARM cpu are used when performing linux kernel systemcalls. Debian "armel" using EABI is a lot faster doing floatingpoint calculations than "arm", due to this all linux ARM developers are working on getting the EABI "armel" systems to replace the old OABI "arm" distributions. OABI "arm" distributions are not actively supported by the developers. Thats why you can't find any binarys for "arm" since all the binarys exists only for "armel"! The first catch when installing OpenJDK for ARM is that OpenJDK binarys only exist on the "armel" version. The second catch is that the binarys are so new they only exist in Debian lenny (the next debian release currently in testing) for OpenJDK with zero and Debian sid (sid is the experimental unstabel debian version) for OpenJDK with cacao. The binarys for ARM using EABI can be downloaded from: http://packages.debian.org/en/lenny/armel/openjdk-6-jre/download http://packages.debian.org/en/sid/armel/cacao-oj6-jre/download Cheers and have a great day!

I’ve tried to find debian and rpm distributions for OpenJDK and OpenJDK classpath with Cacao. I found that all of the distributions have all the binaries except for ‘java’ to execute Java program for ARM devices. Where can we actually get this from? Thanks in advance.
