leJOS: Java based OS for Lego RCX

Like its predecessor (TinyVM), leJOS is a tiny Java (tm) runtime. It functions as replacement firmware for the Lego Mindstorms (tm) RCX, a programmable brick which is part of Lego's Robotics Invention System (tm) (RIS). The RCX contains a Hitachi H8300 processor and 32 Kb of RAM (of which 28 Kb are safe for the firmware to use). We have plans to port leJOS to other small devices.
