Hi Chris,
If you want to see how easy it is to compile a console program directly
on your 7390 look at the ARM Linux file on this page:
http://www.turbocontrol.com/helloworld.htm
There is also some simple serial port code on this page:
http://www.turbocontrol.com/simpleserial.htm
For simple GUI programs see this page:
http://www.turbocontrol.com/easyfpgui.htm
There is no ARM Linux release there but I've used fpGUI to compile GUI
programs directly on the 7390. Contact me off-list and I might be able
to email you a zip to get you started.
Regards,
Paul
