He has a BeagleBoard now and seems to be having some fun with it: http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/102f627253919783.Jadonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08406407439869229968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978423996746351775.post-85609504259350915292008-07-13T22:14:09.558-05:002008-07-13T22:14:09.558-05:00Looking just a bit more into it, I'm not sure it'd have much of a performance gain anyway, except for at start-up, due to the performance of JIT compilers.<BR/><BR/>Still, I thought it was just an instruction set, so I'm surprised the assumption is that initialization is required beyond what can be written by the open source community.Jadonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08406407439869229968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978423996746351775.post-52067966804366055632008-07-13T20:25:04.212-05:002008-07-13T20:25:04.212-05:00I've read <A HREF="http://www.mail-archive.com/kaffe@kaffe.org/msg11645.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>:<BR/><BR/>It is my understanding - thought I've never heard this directly from ARM - that<BR/>enabling the Jazelle hardware requires initialization code that is proprietary<BR/>and licensed, and which is unavailable to open-source developers.<BR/><BR/><BR/>...what a shame!Emanuele Zigliolihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11225949019754263070noreply@blogger.com
