It is free. Get it while it is still free.
QB64. Linux too but I have not tried it on Linux yet.

My old QB would not run on system 7 64 bit.

Many of the memory limitations of the old QB where addressed.

QB is hands down the easiest programming language to learn ever invented.

I suggest practicing with it before you work on the EFI project.
It will build your confidence.

It will have some limitations on direct hard ware access as it must
go through windows.

Go it and built it on my CentOS system.  I had to install several
dependencies from the epel repo. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

I just ran this program on it to demo the procedure of
saving a mixture  table to the PC and getting it back
it back into the EFI from the PC.

CLS
DIM dat AS INTEGER
OPEN "mix.txt" FOR OUTPUT AS #1  'file on the hard disk

 FOR x = 1 TO 7   'just 7 numbers for now
 READ dat         'read the data table below one at a time
 PRINT #1, dat    ' print the numbers on the hard disk
NEXT
CLOSE 1
OPEN "mix.txt" FOR INPUT AS #2  'open the file on the hard disk again
 FOR x = 1 TO 7
 INPUT #2, dat     'input the numbers one at a time and assign
                  'them to the variable "dat". Over writes the old.
 PRINT dat         'print them on the screen one at a time
NEXT
CLOSE 2
DATA  67, 77, 88, 99, 56, 67, 55,

END

The ARM works in a similar fashion but the USB instruction
names will change.
