While using processing on ARM (via openjdk-6-zero) has been done for quite some time, (even using the Arduino IDE), we just got it working on BUG.Just running sketches couldn't be easier.  Processing 1.5.1 allows sketches to be exported as applications:After hitting that, you should see the Sketch's jar in tie .pde's directory.  scp that up to bug using your favorite scp client, and just:java -jar Sketch.jar.Here's the pointillism example (in processing-1.5.1/modes/java/examples/Basics/Image/Pointillism/):Running the IDE on BUG is...

Have you ever been working on a project, tracing through code, only to get to a point where you're inside your jvm's core class code?  Probably.  And you've probably noticed that the core classes don't display all that prettily in eclipse, you'll get some  polished-up bytecode:Well it's pretty easy to attach some source... especially if you're using ubuntu and openjdk-6.  Try this: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-source Give it a minute to finish, then, in the...

BUG comes with an avahi-daemon installed.  We used to use a jslp-based implementation to have the SDK auto-detect the presence of a BUG on the same LAN (and even for the virtual-BUG itself).  We've since changed to using the more widely supported avahi/mDNS/zeroconf implementation.  SDK-side, it's based on JmDNS, BUG-side it's plain old avahi, with a special service definition.Anyway, what I like about having avahi-daemon and some stock service definitions on BUG is that in...

I had the opportunity to work on a nasty little defect from home this afternoon.  Some background: Originally we used the AvetanaBT implementation for java-level API hooks into bluez for bluetooth programming. It has served our needs well, and was built on top of phoneME /JavaME's javax.microedition.io libraries.   We're moving to openjdk-6 No javax.microedition.io in a J2SE compatible jvm/classpath environment Need to abandon avetanaBT or re-implement javax.microedition.io.* on our own (ick) I investigated a (more...
