The same applies regardless of the processor (size).

Less overhead will allow a cheaper device.

Its worth noting that the java support on Cortex-Ms (Jazelle) is deprecated. If you're using a cortex-m class device, chance are you don't want to be running java on it.

Note that I'm talking in general terms, there are always exceptions to the rule (such as for the rare sandboxed application).




Why are you talking about Jazelle?!

There is this little feature of all commercial Java toolchains for embedded development called AOT compilation to native code.


of course aot exists, was just pointing out that java is not much of a use case in embedded sw, to the extent that once major features are now deprecated.


Yet plenty of companies do use it, go figure.
