Writing the Java-App and let it run on the target as well as on any computer on the network. Doing the GUI just once. As it's currently only a project in my free-time (well, lightly coupled to my work...), the rough edges won't be a problem at all. The network-stack isn't a problem at all. My application needs networking anyway.

Well yes, I didn't expect anything else ;) I've got an ARM926 running at 200 MHz with at least 8MB of (external) SDRAM, so I guess this will be enough for first tests. I don't know if I'll use it for my free-time project, but I'd definitely like to try it out. Seems to be quite a good stress-tester for my new HAL on the target CPU! And if I'm gonna "lick blood" in the project, I'll see what I can feed back to your efforts! Cheers, Manuel -- Manuel Borchers Web: http://www.matronix.de eMail: manuel@matronix.de
