[jos-general] [TINI OS] Seen it?

[Gilbert C. H. II <gc...@mi...>]

TINI is a hardware implementation of a Java Virtual Machine. It is
available from Dallas Semiconductor.

TINI has an OS. There is a new book on the TINI OS. Have you seen it? The
new book from Addison-Wesley explains how an operating system runs on the
TINI hardware. Their OS supports multiple processes. Their OS boots to a
"primary application". The primary application can be a shell with a
command line interface. The shell can launch secondary applications. Each
application is isolated, so that resources are free'd when the application
dies. Only the true core packages are implemented:

  java.lang
  java.util
  java.io
  java.net

Does that sound familiar? It should. Many of the issues we've discussed on
this mailing list have been addressed in TINI OS. You can learn about it in
this new book.

Has anyone else read this book?
