> I was wondering if it is possible to write a c/c++ code in vi through SSH on Putty and then generate an output file and run directly on the beaglebone? I tried the simple helloworld.c program and it worked.
I have a network share set up, accessible by the beaglebone. I also have the beaglebone set up as a network share, with samba. I edit my files in my favorite modern editor, but compile and run from the network shares, directly, on the beaglebone. Biggest benefit is, if I hose something on the beaglebone or the flash/sd card dies or whatever, I just plug in a new beaglebone, and and up and running after I cd to my development directory. Don't develop on the beaglebone flash without some sort of constant backup/source control. You will most likely break something at some point, like with a "opkg upgrade" and it's hard to get stuff off the emmc. > but its my first time in Embedded Forget the embedded part, just think of it as a low end little Linux PC. That's the whole point of Linux, it's nearly identical regardless of the machine you're on. This one is no different than a supercomputer cluster, except you have somewhat constrained resources ;) and some unusual, kick butt, peripherals, like the PRUs. g++, gcc, python, perl, and node.js (probably forgetting some) are already installed. There are tens of thousands of tutorials on developing regular Linux applications, which is all you'll be doing (maybe accessing some interesting sysfs interfaces, but that's not unusual). With the kernel-dev and kernel-headers packages, you can even compile kernel modules right on the Beaglebone. For opkg, you need the exact name. Use "opkg list" to find the package. You can use wildcards to list packages, so "opkg list *gcc*".
