These are the links from the Devoxx talk in Antwerp, Belgium, on October 9, 2025: “The Wait is Over: Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) API brings modern Java to the Raspberry Pi”.

2025 is an important year as Java 25 got released, a version which will be supported for many more years. On top of that, the Pi4J library will soon be published as V4.0.0 with a new plugin making use of the FFM API, a new feature added to Java in version 22.

In this post, I would like to inform you about a new Java library that is now available on Maven Central, allowing interaction with DMX512 devices using (optionally) the Open Fixture Library (OFL). I also published a video with a code walkthrough of my test setup and demo code.
