2.) Java Grinder:

Created by: Mike Kohn

Website: https://www.mikekohn.net/micro/java_grinder.php

Description

Java Grinder is a tool that gives the ability to write programs in Java to run natively on microcontrollers, game consoles, and computers. Java Grinder is not a JVM, but instead translates byte-code from Java .class files into native assembly code much like a JIT or an “ahead of time” compiler. On the microcontrollers, there is a Java API to take advantage of the I/O ports, UART, SPI, and more. On the game console / computer side, there are Java API’s to manipulate the graphics and sound chips. Currently, the following CPUs / platforms are supported (click on links for videos):

3.) cc65:

Currently Supported by: Oliver Schmidt

Websites: http://cc65.github.io/cc65/ or  http://www.cc65.org/oldindex.php

Description

cc65 is a complete cross development package for 65(C)02 systems, including a powerful macro assembler, a C compiler, linker, librarian and several other tools. It is based on a C compiler that was originally adapted for the Atari 8bit computers by John R. Dunning. The original C compiler is a Small C descendant but has several extensions, and some of the limits of the original Small C compiler are gone.
