Interesting to see NXP Semiconductors there. Being primarily a semiconductor manufacturer how do they use JVM based (Java etc) language ecosystem in their products? SDK to program their boards for development purposes?

NXP makes smart cards, which frequently run JCOS. This is an embedded OS for microcontrollers which runs on Java bytecode. However, they use Java bytecode version 1.2 and language level 1.3 with Stirings removed, so I don't know quite why they would be influincing later Java versions.

They also make IoT devices with Java on them.
