Ignition Edge 8.0.16 java version

Hello,

We have a small issue with booting Ignition EDGE under Linux on a MOXA device.

We have MOXA UC8100-A-ME-T with a Armv7 Cortex-A8 processor (32bit). What Java version is required to run Ignition Edge 8.0.16

Additionally, is there a compatibility list available for Ignition versions against Java SDK version?

Thanks in advance!

Ignition 8.x gateways ship with their own Java runtime, you don’t need to have one installed.

Currently we are shipping JDK 11.

Did you modify ignition.conf somehow to make it use your local Java install?

Hello Kevin,

We did indeed change ignition.conf, but we changed it according to a MOXA IIoT installation guide. Upon inspection we see that it is not an official MOXA supported instruction guide.

We changed the parameter, and now it is working!

Thanks for your fast support!

That guide was likely written for Ignition 7.9 and prior, before we started including our own Java runtime.
