Disabling the hp Jornada 700 series ChaiVM

Applies To

• hp Jornada 710, 720, 728
• HPC2000

Overview

The hp Jornada 700 series comes equipped with ChaiVM, a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) integrated into the device's ROM. By default the JVM is enabled and loading with Internet Explorer. When the browser encounters a web page which calls for a Java run-time environment, and will automatically begin to cache data into main RAM.

The caching process can cause large amounts of Storage Memory to be consumed by temporary files which are not automatically dismounted upon exit. As a result it may be desirable to disable the JVM if not required, or the user wishes to switch to a different JVM run-time environment.
