Windows 7 works with the Beaglebone, OSX 10.9 works, OSX 10.8 works, Linux x86
works. If OSX 10.10 does not work the blame is on the Beaglebone side?
As you have only "trawled the internet" for a weekend reading "mumbo jumbo",
for a weekend, it seems to me that you need to spend lots of time reading
more stuff.
Count on at least a month. until the mumbo jumbo starts making sense.
Yes, the Beaglebone IS NOT an Arduino!
The Arduino Mega has only a serial over USB connection, and is a 16 Mhz, 8
bit processor without any Operating system.
The Beaglebone is a 32 bit full grown computer, with network, HDMI, memory
management and protection, LInux, and it is a very, very different machine.
Yes, the prices are very similar, but the value is very different.
Some people only look at "price", other can look at the value and the support
and the knowledge that the guys behind the Beaglebone offer.
Hope someday you can do the latter.
