History

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

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] MicroEJ uses Instruction Set hardware virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers [2] [19] 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). [19] [20]

MicroEJ provides an IDE based on Eclipse for creating embedded software and applications on desktop. [19] MICROEJ SDK supports programming languages such as C, Java, Javascript, and Kotlin. [21] [6] Applications can also be developed using Android Studio and Gradle. [8]
