This is an example program that uses the /dev/mem device node to access the physical memory registers directly(source)

Usage

to compile the source use your toolchain command line

#arm-linux-uclibc-gcc -o ledblink ledblink.c

then transfer the ledblink binary to the hammer file system. make sure that the permissions on the file are set to executable.

#chmod 755 ledblink
#./ledblink

Usage:  ./ledblink.bin { seconds }
        seconds : number of seconds to blink

#./ledblink 20

this will cause the onboard LED to blink for 20 seconds
