CLDC and MIDP Stack

CLDC/MIDP applications conform to both the Connected Limited Device Configuration and Mobile Information Device Profile (). The CLDC/MIDP stack is based on the open source phoneME™ Feature project at https://phoneme.dev.java.net.

• CLDC 1.1 and MIDP 2.1

• Optimized Mobile Service Architecture (MSA) stack with extensions ()

• Java Technology for the Wireless Industry (JTWI) stack ()

• All the JSRs listed in Supported JCP APIs 

CLDC/MIDP applications are targeted for devices that typically have the following capabilities:

• A 16-bit or 32-bit processor with a clock speed of 16MHz or higher

• At least 160 KB of non-volatile memory allocated for the CLDC libraries and virtual machine

• At least 192 KB of total memory available for the Java platform

• Low power consumption, often operating on battery power

• Connectivity to some kind of network, often with a wireless, intermittent connection and limited bandwidth

Typical devices might be cellular phones, pagers, low-end personal organizers, and machine-to-machine equipment. In addition, CLDC can also be deployed in home appliances, TV set-top boxes, and point-of-sale terminals.
