+* meta-chip-example-java: JAVA OpenJDK with Hello World and DIO applications to test the installation and show how to drive the hardware.
 * meta-chip-example-1wire: usage of 1-Wire devices. Demonstrate how to easily patch the kernel with fragments and the device tree with patch files.
 * meta-chip-example-spidev: usage of SPI interface. Second example to demonstrate how to patch the kernel with fragments and the device tree with patch files.

 See the README file of the meta-chip layer (from my GitHub https://github.com/myfreescalewebpage/meta-chip) to check details about building and flashing images on the C.H.I.P. board.
 
-After flashing the image on the C.H.I.P. board, the file "helloworld.jar" will be in "/home/root". Execute the following command:
+### chip-image-example-java-helloworld
 
-	java -classpath /home/root -jar /home/root/helloworld.jar
+After flashing the image on the C.H.I.P. board, the file "helloworld.jar" will be in "/usr/local/java". Execute the following command:
+
+	java -jar /usr/local/java/helloworld.jar
 
 The text "Hello World!" in the console indicates that the application is correctly executed.
 
+### chip-image-example-java-dio
+
+After flashing the image on the C.H.I.P. board, the file "gpio.jar" will be in "/usr/local/java". Connect a LED throw a resitor on the pin PE5 (CSI-D1 on C.H.I.P.). Execute the following command:
+
+	java -Djava.security.policy=/home/root/java.policy -jar /usr/local/java/gpio.jar PE5
+
+The LED is blinking several times and the application terminates.
+
+Important note: the policy file is set to permit access to the hardware.
