Subject: Linux (native) or Linux ARM (x-compile)?

Hi,

I would like to have FLNX set up together with
Microwindows on the Assabet board so that I can
ultimately run other FLTK applications on it.

I've managed to get Microwindows to work using the
framebuffer option on my PC & I'm using Hardhat linux
on the Assabet board.

I need two things generally:

	1. A PC which will be used as a development platform
for writing programs, etc.
	2. Once applications, etc. have been created on the
PC, I would like to download the programs to the
Assabet board.

Here are my questions about setting up a PC as a
development platform.

- Do I need to compile Microwindows using the Linux
Native option or the Linux-ARM platform option? 

- All this while I was using the Linux Native
platform. But I'm wondering if I ultimately want
Microwindows to run on the Assabet, then shouldn't I
choose Linux-ARM? 

- At the same time I would like the PC as a
development platform...so I require Linux-Native
then...am I right to say that?

- So when do you need to use Linux-Native and when do
you use Linux-ARM?


- Also, assuming I need to use Linux-ARM, is the
option only meant for SA-1100? Or is it suitable for
SA-1110 as well?

Thanks!
Supriyo
