Bluetooth DUN || Other JVM languages

[pepijndevos]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible for a LeJOS controlled NXT brick to act as a DUN server/client. Either to fetch data from the web or to run a web interface.

My mac has the option to use a DUN network, and since DUN runs on top of SPP which is used with the NXT, I thought it would be possible to do this.

I'd also like to know if it is possible to run something like Scala, Jython or Clojure on the NXT with LeJOS.

Hi,
DUN is not directly supported, however there are a couple of samples that show how a PC can be used to proxy some network/web requests.

I'm pretty sure that other languages can not be supported directly. leJOS uses a pre-linked varient of the standard Java byte code (to reduce memory usage), I'm pretty sure that the languages that you mention generate byte code on the fly and/or require dynamic class loading (which is not really possible with leJOS)...

Some years after my original post, I tried to register on this forum, because I basically wondered the same thing again, and found that I had already registered and asked what I wanted to ask.

I'm not sure if I completely get your point about pre-linking, but I understand that any runtime loading and generating is not possible.

There are several languages, like Mirah, which do not do any fancy stuff, except for adding a nice syntax and type inference. Could that work?

I wonder if Lejos really runs JVM bytecode?

I attempted to cross-compile a clojure file into a nxt java class, but I received this error:

Code: Select all

$ java -Xbootclasspath:$NXJ_HOME/lib/nxt/classes.jar  -cp ./classes:lib/clojure-1.3.0.jar -Dclojure.compile.path=./classes clojure.lang.Compile cljbot.helloworld
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/ClassLoader


I assume the pre-linking step you mention here is why I'm getting this error---and it means this is probably not going to work?
