As software trend is moving to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), a novel object processor for running OOP offers an opportunity to enhance the system security, performance and to provide an alternative for a Virtual Machine to suit OOP. We select Java as our targeting language due to its security, re-usability and portability. However, Java?s severe restrictions of its real-time behavior become the barrier on embedded devices.

Our solution is to build a Java Just-In-Time compiler on jHISC, a descriptor processor targeting on Java, in order to excel in running Java language. Through this hardware and software co-development, Java can run as a native language in embedded devices similar to the performance of running C language on RISC or CISC and penetrate all Java?s features to increase overall system security and performance.
