Model name : ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l)įeatures : half thumb fastmult vfp edsp java tls To be sure which ARM-version is used, check the output of “cat /proc/cpuinfo” in the terminal: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo Prepare a Raspberry Pi ARMv6 Raspberry Pi boardįor this post, I’m using an old Raspberry Pi B+ 1.2. This post will guide you through the steps to have a working Java JDK and JavaFX 11 on these Raspberry Pi board versions. By typing in java -versioninto the terminal, you can check if everything went right.In a previous post “Installing Java and JavaFX on the Raspberry Pi”, you can read how to install BellSoft LibericaJDK to be able to run JavaFX applications with a graphical user interface on a Raspberry Pi with ARMv7 or ARMv8 processor.īut this won’t work for some (older) versions of the Raspberry Pi as these use an ARMv6 processor which is not compatible with the default OpenJDK 11 which is part of Raspberry Pi OS. Add the JAVA_HOME='/usr/lib/jvm/zulu-8'line to the file and save it.

Again don’t forget to change the path, if you have installed the JDK into some other directory and same foes with the JAVA_HOMEvariable. To set it up, use the following commands, $ sudo nano /etc/environmentĪt the end of the PATH line add :/usr/lib/jvm/zulu-8/bin. While JAVA_HOMEis used by tools installed on the system like IDE and all to find out the installed JAVA folder, PATHis used by the system to find the same. So to avoid that we need to setup couples of Environmental Variables like JAVA_HOMEand PATH. Though JAVA can be used by navigating to the installation folder, it’s not convenient any tools we will be installing, we will have to provide the path to the JSK folder manually.

STEP 3 (Setting up Environment Variables):

Install zulu openjdk version 11
