Cross compiling Java SE application included Device I/O API on Linux desktop for Embedded Devices

[Mohsen Salahshoor]

Hello gentlemen,

Could I develop my application which uses Device I/O API on my linux laptop then compile it for running on an embedded device? If so, will you please tell me how?

(I want to use eclipse as the IDE.)

I'm interested in this as well. Will you be using Oracle's Java SE Embedded?

An update based on some recent hands-on experience ...

If the target device is a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian OS, you can use the Pi4J API and libraries for GPIO operations and communications over the serial port, I2C, and SPI. The Raspbian distribution includes a Java 8 SE runtime environment, the Pi4j libraries, and the platform-specific JNI library.

I have only tried GPIO so far and found the API functionality quite complete and easy to use. My development environment is Eclipse on Windows 7 and CentOS Linux .
