Okay Technologics, <FLAME ON> WTF? I bought this beautiful TS-7390 device because I wanted to write a small user interface for a serial device. It runs linux so everything is easy write? I mean it's not like it's running that dreaded Microsoft operating system. So I use the OS that comes with it and I have X11. Old school for sure, but hey, maybe it will be fine for my super simple UI. So I write some stuff in X11 and every update flickers like crazy. Guess I need some double buffering. Oh sorry, we don't have that. Oh and I try to use your super cool IDE solution for Eclipse, but guess what? It only runs on WINDOWS????!!! If you like Windows so much, why don't you run it on your board? Here's some news: Eclipse runs on Linux - your OS of choice. Lots of people (like me) run it there. Did you ever consider making your stuff work on Linux? Okay, so then I poke around and find your (old) version of Qt. I install that and get helloworld to run, but you don't even have the source for it anywhere and no documentation on how you built it. So I hit the list to learn from people doing real projects. I learn tons about cross compilers and getting the new version of Qt to run. So I spend THREE FRIGGIN' WEEKS trying to get things configured correctly. I'm not a Linux expert, but c'mon. All I want is the latest version of Qt running somewhere so I can do my UI development. Why isn't that posted on the TS site? So here I am. No code written in three weeks and I seem to be no closer to solving the problem. So this is the last day. I'm tempted to try to mail everything back to TS. It's junk to me. This whole experience is making me want to go back to Windows where I can at least boot something and have access to modern development tools, a serial port, and a graphics library without having to debug thousands of lines of code that I didn't write. Everyone on this list seems to be having problems and very few people seem to know the answer. I will be driving everyone I can away from the TS solution. With no tools, documentation, or libraries for this thing, I can't believe anyone is getting anything done. <FLAME OFF> ...Zz PS Thanks to everyone on this list. I'm sure the problem is that I'm just an idiot and don't know how to run linux, but I was really hoping this could work. My project is almost identical to what Donal is doing and I really thought this was the perfect solution. But I can't continue playing with config files and getting nowhere. __._,_.___
