BeagleBone Black Programming

Synapsys · October 25, 2013, 2:09pm

Does anyone know if (how) it is possible to develop/debug C/C++ code for the BeagleBone Black using the native Windows environment (I don’t mean using a VM to run Linux)?

@ Synapsys

TI has SDK available and you can use GCC for ARM.

I had GPIO LED blinking demo running in one evening (used Windows 7).

You are welcome! What are you doing with your BeagleBone, just curious?

@ Architect
I am experimenting with various boards to implement an embedded display system. The system will allow lesser power processor boards to display “forms-like” screens similar to the 4D systems.
