5.9.2File

The System.out print can be redirected into log files within the module’s flash file system. The output will be written alternatingly into two files which can be concatenated afterwards to have a single log file.

Writing the output to a file will slow down the virtual machine. To reduce the impact of logging the output may be written first to a buffer before it is written to the file (buffered mode). The buff- ered output is written either if the buffer is filled or after 200 ms. If the buffer is not used (secure mode) the output is written directly to the file. Because excessive writing to the module’s flash file system decreases the life time of the flash memory, we recommend using the System.out to file redirection only during development phases.

5.9.3UDP

Redirection to a UDP socket is used in conjunction with the debugger. UDP is used by default when using on-device-debugging (Chapter 10). This can be changed by editing the emulator’s ini-file.

If the output is redirected to an UDP socket, any changes of the System.out configuration are ignored while the Virtual Machine is running. The UDP Socket settings will not be stored in the module.

5.10GPIO

The GPIO Java API (classes: InPort, OutPort, InPortListener, StartStopPulseCounter, Limit- PulseCounter and LimitPulseCounterListener) is a replacement for the GPIO AT commands (AT^SPIO, AT^SCPIN, ...). Using these classes frees up AT command resources and improves performance. Both APIs can only be used alternatively. Of course the basic system character- istics of a poll interval of 4.6ms (in SLEEP mode up to 2.7s) for pin state change detection does also apply here.

GPIO Java API is only supported in TC65.

5.11Restrictions

5.11.1Flash File System

The maximum length of a complete path name, including the path and the filename, is limited by the Flash file system on the module to 124 characters. It is recommended that names of classes and files be distinguished by more than case sensitivity.

5.11.2Memory

The CLDC 1.1 HI features a just-in-time compiler. This means that parts of the Java byte code which are frequently executed are translated into machine code to improve efficiency. This fea- ture uses up RAM space. There is always a trade off between code translation to speed up exe- cution and RAM space available for the application.
