MicroEJ (pronounced "micro-EDGE")[2] is a French-American independent software vendor with headquarters in Nantes, France[3] and offices in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.[4] It was founded by Fred Rivard in 2004.[5][6][7] It is known for developing MICROEJ VEE, a Virtual Execution Environment for embedded software development and other software development tools such as the software development kit MICROEJ SDK.[6][8]

History[edit]

Fred Rivard founded MicroEJ under the name Industrial Smart Software Technologies (IS2T).[5] MicroEJ established its offices in Boston in 2016.[9]

At the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), MicroEJ announced plans to release an app store platform for IoT devices.[10]

MicroEJ partnered with Groupe SEB to integrate MICROEJ VEE into its food processor products in 2021.[11] In the same year, MicroEJ also partnered with NXP Semiconductors to offer a MICROEJ VEE platform on NXP's i.MX RT500 MCU for wearables.[12][13]

At CES 2022, MicroEJ launched the first containerized software platform for smart home and industrial devices connected using the Matter protocol.[14] In 2022, MicroEJ also partnered with Thales to offer MICROEJ  VEE on the Thales Cinterion IoT Module and Plug and Play IoT Devices.[15] MicroEJ also partnered with Telit to develop Telit IoT cellular modules' software development ecosystem.[16]

In 2023, MicroEJ announced collaboration with Polar Electro to integrate MICROEJ VEE several wearable products.[17] The company also revealed collaboration with Schneider Electric to integrate MICROEJ VEE technology in Industrial IoT products.[18]

Products[edit]

MICROEJ VEE (Virtual Execution Environment) comes in the form of a runtime environment and its associated software libraries for running containers (also called virtual machines) reproducing the behavior of embedded systems.[2][6][19] MicroEJ uses Instruction Set hardware virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers[2][20] and enable the creation of app stores.[4][10]

MicroEJ also provides a simulator allowing the development of software applications on virtual devices (actual embedded devices simulated on workstations).[20][21]

MicroEJ provides an IDE based on Eclipse for creating embedded software and applications on desktop.[20] MICROEJ SDK supports programming languages such as C, Java, Javascript, and Kotlin.[22][6] Applications can also be developed using Android Studio and Gradle.[8]
