MicroEJ Runtime Environments and Flavors


What is a MicroEJ Runtime Environment?

A MicroEJ Runtime Environment defines a set of MicroEJ APIs exposed to a MicroEJ Sandboxed Application. Here are the default runtimes provided by MicroEJ.

MicroEJ Runtime Environment EDC/B-ON/KF COMP/WADAPPS MICROUI/MWT LEDS/BUTTONS NET/CONNECT/SSL BLE HAL ECOM/COMM
MicroEJ-Developer
MicroEJ-UI
MicroEJ-Headless
MicroEJ-BLE

You can find below what are the different APIs included in the Runtime Environment:

API Purpose
EDC Core APIs for the execution.
B-ON Memory Usage control and Sequences start-up.
KF Required by the implementation of Shared Interfaces, an inter-application communication process.
COMP or COMPONENTS Lightweight Services Framework.
WADAPPS Wadapps Application Framework.
MICROUI/MWT Main UI library for MicroEJ and the Widgets framework based on MicroUI.
LEDS or MICROUI-LEDS UI library specific to LEDs.
BUTTONS or MICROUI-BUTTONS UI library specfic to buttons.
NET Socket (TCP/UDP) library.
CONNECT or CONNECTIVITY Network connectivity detection library.
SSL Secure Socket Layer.
BLE Bluetooth Low Energy support.
HAL GPIO Access (digital and analog)
ECOM Device access framework.
COMM or ECOM-COMM Serial ports support for the ECOM.

What is a MicroEJ Flavor?

A MicroEJ Flavor is a composition of a set of runtime services, resident applications and a given MicroEJ Runtime Environment.

You can find below what are the different System Apps included in the Flavor:

System Apps Purpose
Management Contains the implementation of Wadapps framework services, required by all VEE.
App-Metadata-Storage Stores some Applications Metadata (icons, descriptions) so that it can be locally used by a MicroEJ Companion.
CommandServer-Socket Allows the deployment of MicroEJ Applications through a local network connection.
NTP Synchronizes the time of the device.
About Displays version information about the VEE.
AppList An application browser, can be used to start, stop or uninstall the applications, or display their descriptions and version information.
Forge Connect Displays a desktop that allows the management of MicroEJ Applications using a connection to MICROEJ FORGE.
Settings Displays the VEE parameters and settings.
