Intro

Hi! I'm Paul Cowan, a software engineer at Caucho Technology. Caucho is primarily a Java EE application server vendor. Our application server is called Resin. I mostly write Java code, but I'm also a computer hobbyist and like to tinker with anything techie.

During Caucho's last engineer meeting in San Francisco (October 2012), I brought up Raspberry Pi as an avenue we could explore for Resin. It probably wouldn't directly sell Resin licenses, but it would be a great marketing vehicle. Everybody liked it, Caucho is cool like that, and so I'm off.

About Resin

Resin is a fairly light-weight for an app server and embeds well. It's really a nice platform on which to build just about anything in Java, since it can make just about any app HTTP enabled and handles all the mundane services like logging and you don't really want to have to deal with. It also provides a dependency injection container... Now you may be asking "why do I can about dependency injection when I'm just playing around with hobby projects." Well personally I pump out Java code much faster using dependency injection and just find it easier to write in that style.

Resin also includes Quercus, a Java based PHP interpreter. I'm not really planning to make PHP a focus of this project, but it's handy to have available just in case.

About This Journal

The Raspberry Pi platform and community certainly seems to be evolving rapidly, but it still seems like there's not enough documentation out there. In particular Java support is kinda spotty, and I haven't found anything on JEE on a Raspberry Pi. So I'm going to document my experience in hope it is useful to other Java developers getting started with Raspberry Pi.

Hardware

I ordered the Pi early in October, but it was backordered by about 4 weeks. 10/15 they sent me an email my order was upgraded for free from 256 Mb to the 512 Mb model. It was delivered 10/18, so about 2 weeks early.

I use an IOGear DVI KVM so monitor and keyboard aren't a problem. In fact the KVM combines the mouse and keyboard into a single USB cable, so that leaves me a free USB port on the RasPi. However I needed an adapter and HDMI cable. Monoprice is great for this kind of stuff.

  • PNY 8 Gb SD card from BJ's... I think, I stolen from the family camera :)
  • MicroUSB cable and AC adapter from my Kindle

Getting Started

I started with this write up from Oracle and the Raspberry Pi downloads page. It becomes apparent pretty quickly that there's a float-point compatibility issue with Java on Raspberry Pi. Here's a summary of what I understand regarding the state of Raspberry Pi operating systems and Java support as of 11/2012:

OS

  • The "official" distro is Raspbian Wheezy, which is offered for download on on raspberrypi.org/downloads
  • This distro is variant of Raspbian Wheezy from raspbian.org but with a light-weight desktop, Midori web browser, and a few other development extra specifically for Raspberry Pi
  • Raspbian Wheezy is a variant of Debian Wheezy but compiled for ARM processor with optimization specifically for Raspberry Pi (hardware floating-point)
  • Debian Wheezy is the "testing" distro of Debian, while Debian Squeeze is the current stable release
  • There are various other linux distros supporting ARM processor

I should mention that my understand is you can't just use any ARM linux distro straight up. The boot sequence for a Raspberry Pi dependent on the SD card. It actually boots from a small RISC core on the GPU, but the GPU firmware is loaded from the SD card. More here.

This article helps if you're a little lost like I was: Understanding ARM Architectures.

Java Compatability

  • Currently NO Java distro that I'm aware of has support for Raspberry Pi's hardware floating point unit (hard-float)
  • Therefore we need OS distro that support soft-float, ARMv6, little-endian
  • The Oracle article is discussing using Debian Squeeze, which I suspect is because it was the best distro available at the time with soft floating-point support.
  • However there is now a Soft-float Debian wheezy Rasbian image available at raspberrypi.org/downloads, so I'm going to try that to start out

Honestly I don't want a desktop at all and would like fast boot, so the Arch Linux distro appeals to me. (Note to try it later.)

Imaging

There's a Fedora installer that sounds interesting, but I'm running on OSX. The instructions on the Oracle article are based on Linux, but there's also decent instructions here. Basically the distro is a raw SD card image, containing partitions, so you have to write it directly to the SD card in raw form.

  • Inserted the SD card into my MacBook's SD Slot
  • Ran Search->Disk Utility
  • SD card is listed as 8.01 GB APPLE SD Card...
  • Erase->MS-DOS(FAT), Name: RASPI
  • Erase

Next, I tried RasPiWrite and failed. The script doesn't even run due to syntax errors. I'm not going to debug a Python script, so that fails the 10-minute test.

Now following "Easy Way" instructions from the Raspberry Pi wiki...

  • df -h reveals my SD card mount simply enough:
/dev/disk1s1   7.4Gi  624Ki  7.4Gi     1%    /Volumes/RASPI
$ sudo diskutil unmount /dev/disk1s1
Password:
Volume RASPI on disk1s1 unmounted
$ sudo dd bs=1m if=~/Downloads/2012-08-08-wheezy-armel.img of=/dev/rdisk1
1850+0 records in
1850+0 records out
1939865600 bytes transferred in 136.071302 secs (14256243 bytes/sec)

Well that looks like it worked!

First Boot

The Raspberry Pi booted right into a blue menu screen called raspi-config that lets you configure basic OS settings.

  • The first thing I did was hit EXPAND-ROOTFS to use of the rest of the free space on the SD card
  • After a "sudo reboot" it printed logs about resizing the root file system. That took a few minutes but seems work fine.
  • I configured, locale, timezone, enabled SSHD, and set the the desktop to NOT start on boot
  • Finished, reboot
  • The pi is showing up on my network, SSH works, looks good to go!
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs          7.3G  1.3G  5.7G  19% /
/dev/root       7.3G  1.3G  5.7G  19% /
tmpfs            22M  228K   22M   2% /run
tmpfs           5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
tmpfs            44M     0   44M   0% /tmp
tmpfs            10M     0   10M   0% /dev
tmpfs            44M     0   44M   0% /run/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1   56M   35M   22M  61% /boot

The Oracle article goes into a lot of detail about setting up DHCP, local. time-zone, etc e which doesn't seem necessary since Raspbian provides raspi-config.

Hmm, I'm noticing the OS is only seeing 256 Mb instead of 512.... They told me I was sent an upgraded model to the 512 Mb.

Getting Oracle JRE 7 Running

As I mentioned above, there's no Raspi hardware floating-point support in Java (yet?). I'm planning to install Oracle/OpenJDK/JRE to do some testing and see what runs best. Resin is not fully functional with a JRE, it can't compile JSPs...

Downloading ARMv6/7 Linux - Headless EABI, VFP, SoftFP ABI, Little Endian1 (ejre-7u6-fcs-b24-linux-arm-vfp-client_headless-10_aug_2012.tar.gz) from Oracle.

(Hmm, it takes like 2 minutes to scp 32Mb to the Pi from OSX... That troubling. Not sure if it's the write to SD card speed or network.)

Unziped, untar, there's no installer. There's only 2 files in bin, java and keytool. I'm going to setup Java like a typical linux install by moving the extracted dir to /usr/ejre1.7.0_06 and symlink to /usr/java and link the executables into /usr/bin.

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ which java
/usr/bin/java
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ java -version
java version "1.7.0_06"
Java(TM) SE Embedded Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_06-b24, headless)
Java HotSpot(TM) Embedded Client VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode)

Getting Resin Running

I'm going to focus on the open-source Resin Servlet Container for this project.

wget http://www.caucho.com/download/resin-4.0.32.zip

Extracting the zip was fast, but the whole system then stopped responding for a few seconds afterwards... I guessing it's write buffering to the SD card and has to wait for the hardware to catchup. (?)

Trying a configure/make/make install of Resin:

./configure

configure: error: 

   *** Can't find JNI directory in JAVA_HOME=/usr/java
   *** JNI is expected in /usr/java/include/linux
 

Crap... this Java distro does not include the Java headers. We won't be able to compile Resin native libraries with this Java, maybe one of the others will have headers. Resin will still work in pure Java mode.

Let's try with:

./configure --disable-jni

Configure succeeds that time. "make" succeeds. "sudo make install" succeeds.

Resin is installed to /etc/init.d, /etc/resin, /usr/local/share/resin, /var/resin, etc.

pi@raspberrypi /var/resin $ resinctl start

Well that's a weird error... I forgot to start with sudo, retry.

Resin/4.0.32 started -server 'app-0' with watchdog at 127.0.0.1:6600

That's better. It only took about 15 seconds to startup, not too bad. Checking the logs...

Cool!

Trying http://raspberrypi:8080/

500 Servlet Exception

javac compiler is not available in Java(TM) SE Embedded Runtime Environment
1.7.0_06-b24. Check that you are using the JDK, not the JRE.

Well that's expect also, we're using a JRE so no JSP compiler...

Trying http://raspberrypi:8080/resin-doc/ That works! Why?... XTP is not compiled!

Trying http://raspberrypi:8080/resin-admin That works too! PHP is not compiled either!

Admin account generation worked. Resin restart took 45 seconds, Ugh.

Getting OpenJDK 7 Running

Attempting to install OpenJDK from the package:

apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

Nice! That works!

So OpenJDK uses the Linux Alternatives project... (Not a big fan of alternatives but I'll deal.) It install armel and common, not sure what that's about.

Starting Resin with OpenJDK...

[12-12-05 20:05:52.887] {main} OpenJDK Zero VM 22.0-b10, 32, mixed mode, Oracle Corporation

Ok it start, but wow it's really slow. ResinBoot itself took like 20 seconds, and it must have been 3 minutes before port 8080 was bound. http://raspberrypi:8080/ loads to, but it took like 40 seconds.

Doing some research, I see there's 3 different VM's built into OpenJDK, that's interesting. Here's the 3:


The /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-armel/docs/README.Debian explains this in detail:

The OpenJDK build is configured --with-additional-vms to build with
different virtual machines.  The original implementation of the hotspot
VM is only available on the amd64, i386, lpia and sparc architectures.
Other VM's are CACAO, providing a just in time compiler on several
architectures (although the VM implementation is incomplete), and Zero,
providing a byte code interpreter for every architecture.  On some
architectures Zero is built with JIT support using shark (still considered
experimental).

To use a different VM other than the default, use

       java -cacao|-zero|-shark

or for the java tools, use

        <tool name> -J-cacao|-J-zero|-J-shark.

The zero build on the ix86 architectures is built with shark (just in time
compiler); to use the zero build without shark support, use the `-Xint'
option to operate in interpreted-only mode.

On some architectures (currently armel and powerpc, when built against
llvm-2.6) which use ther zero vm as the default, the openjdk-7-jre-zero
package contains the shark vm.
 
To change the default permanently, edit /etc/java-7-openjdk/jvm.cfg.

The CACAO VM can be found in the icedtea-7-jre-cacao package, the Zero/Shark
VM can be found in the openjdk-7-jre-zero package (on the architectures
where the Hotspot VM is available).

So Zero is the default, which is interpreted mode, so that could account for the slow performance I was seeing. Sounds like I need to do some performance testing.

I see OpenJDK includes headers!

So I wonder if Resin will compile on Raspberry Pi now... Trying...

./configure works!

Resin Configuration Summary:

But make fails:

cc1: error: unrecognized command line option �-m32�

So gcc on Raspberry Pi doesn't like -m32... It's a 32-bit architecture. I can probably work out the proper compilation flags but will put that off until later. For now we'll continue to run Resin in java-only mode.

JVM Performance Testing

Resin on OpenJDK

Resin is automatically adding -server to the Resin command line during startup. -server implies -zero, so I can't get it to use -cacao or -jamvm at all without changes.

I'm staring a Resin Changes To Support Raspberry Pi list.

Oracle JDK on Raspberry Pi

I'm quite interested in trying Pi4J, which looks like a great little Java wrapper around a native library called WiringPi that lets you work with the Raspi hardware directly (GPIO, serial port, etc)

The maintainer of Pi4J has a decent write on Raspberry Pi - Installing Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK 1.7.0u6). So reading that I come to find out there IS an Oracle JDK that works on Raspberry Pi! (WTF Oracle? Why isn't this listed under "Java Embedded". I guess because the "embedded" version is stripped down to make the size smaller.) Anyway, visit the Oracle downloads page, Java SE 7u10, JDK, there's a version available for "Linux ARM v6/v7 Soft Float ABI". That's what we need... Now to redo my Java On Raspberry Pi Performance tests, again.

Resin on Oracle JDK

Unfortunately I've hit a wall with Resin in it's current state. Resin automatically adds "-server" to the server startup command, and the JDK apparently won't run on Raspberry Pi with -server. It complains about requiring and ARMv7 chip, but the Pi is v6... (Resin embed may work.)

pi@raspberrypi ~/resin-4.0.32 $ /usr/java/bin/java -jar lib/resin.jar start 
Resin/4.0.32 launching watchdog at 127.0.0.1:6600
Error occurred during initialization of VM 
Server VM is only supported on ARMv7+ VFP

Adding "remove -server" to the Resin Changes To Support Raspberry Pi list, and starting work on the changes to Resin 7.

Resin Lite

I'm coming back to this after a few weeks of holidays, distractions, bug fixes, and various other work... I've created a special cut of our next version of Resin, Resin 7, called "Resin Lite". Resin Lite is a single jar .war runner. To be honest it's no very "lite" yet, but at least it should run better on RasPi since it won't add -server automatically.

Resin Lite on Zero

Resin starts on Zero with exceptions but appears to run OK. I get a response to a servlet. Performance is slow. Log below...

Resin Lite on Oracle JDK 7

Resin starts up with warning and seems to run OK on Oracle JDK 7. I can't use -server, but that was already established previously and not required anyway.

It's complaining about missing a JSF library, which it is since I did not include javax.faces jar. Log below...

Wireless

I purchased this cute little USB Wifi adapter from Adafruit for only $12. What a pain to setup if you don't use outdated WEP or WPA wireless networking. I use WPA2 with AES/CCMP (like everyone really really should be). Here's my config that finally worked using Raspbian Wheezy 2012-12-16 (not Occidentalis). (At the time of writing this, Occidentalis is a few releases behind Raspbian. Plus I was getting very weird keyboard ghosting using Occidentalis. Not sure why but it doesn't happen with Rasbian.)

I did NOT have to install any drivers.

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /etc/network/interfaces 
auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf 
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
	ssid="your_sid"
	#psk="wireless password"
	psk=generated_by_wpa_passphrase
	proto=RSN
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	pairwise=CCMP
	auth_alg=OPEN
}

I found you can put your wireless password in for "psk", but I don't like having passwords in clear text. So run "wpa_passphrase <sid> <password>" it generates a psk you can use instead

wpa_supplicant reference: [7]
