What software tends to grow quickly ? You really need to think about what you're doing. But if you're writing all the code yourself, and maybe using some form of a Linux libc, and / or standard Linux API calls. You program is not going to be so large the Beaglebone can't compile it. Give me an example of what you plan on doing though . . . > Is BBB powerful enough to compile relatively significant source code amount ? > It depends, see above. > And which IDE do you recommend to work natively on BBB? The same as you mentioned above ? I recommend no IDE. I use gcc from the cmd line, and I use several different text editors to write my code. My setup is a little different than many. I have an NFS server that shares a directory to the Beaglebone. On the beaglebone this is where I compile my code, if not in a ramdisk. The NFS server also run Samba, and exports this same directory out so I can connect to it from Windows. Then, I use Visual Studio Code, Sublime text 3, or whatever text editor I like in Windows to write code ( live ) on / for the Beaglebone. Then it's just a matter of . . . $ gcc somefile.c -o somefile -Wall /* and whatever other options I want and need */ $ chmod +x ./somefile /* File needs to be given executable permissions */ $ ./somefile /* Then the application does its thing . . .*/ On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 at 11:46 AM, ivbsd1 <ivb...@gmail.com> wrote: > William, > > Thanks for input about using BBB itself. > But I am worried about scalability of this solution.
