JamaicaVM

The proven development kit for embedded software

JamaicaVM is a Java-based software development kit and runtime for embedded systems. It enables intelligent devices and vehicles.

JamaicaVM brings the advantages of a managed language to the embedded and IoT world. With its unique combination of development tools with standards support and a virtual machine, it is optimized for running on the IoT edge.

The broadest support of hardware and operating systems combined with hard realtime capabilities, unrivaled small footprint, and extraordinary low processor utilization, ensure it is the best choice for your embedded IoT project.

JamaicaVM reduces time-to-market, costs and complexity significantly.

Get to Market faster

JamaicaVM reduces the time spent on developing and managing embedded systems by 25-50%.

High Scalability

Support for single or millions of devices made easy. Broadest support of a wide range of realtime and embedded operating systems (see version matrix) is possible.

More Flexibility

You gain flexibility with aicas embedded microservices thanks to more agility and means to create rapid prototypes or minimum viable products (MVP).

Reduce Costs

JamaicaVM allows a 25% reduction in the runtime size. It enables to run on very restricted environments and reduces hardware expenses by up to 10%.

High Portability

Porting JamaicaVM to a new compute platform or system only takes a few days - in contrast to many months with similar products.

Easier Programming

You have control of your code and your data with significantly easier programming in Java.

Best Reliability

JamaicaVM assures critical as well as third-party applications will operate uninterrupted. This is made possible by providing the highest security and availability combined with low latency and quick response time.

Investment Protection

Due to the ability to move code and reuse it on a wide range of operating systems and computing platforms, your investment is safe from day one.

Application Priority

Develop and run code with a focus on application specifics – not platform limitations.
