Note that from an application developer's perspective the wildly popular Raspberry Pi and the Beagles are mostly the same platform - a Debian GNU/Linux system on armhf architecture. You can use this to your advantage to google for something like "cross develop raspberry on windows" which will bring up quite a few more articles than searching for beagle-specific stuff. Visual Studio is a great tool for developing against x86/Windows targets. If you're developing with VS against a ARM/Linux target using third-party GUI libraries, it's probably possible (according to some articles Google spit out) but setting up cross-development GUI libraries is going to be a bit of a pain, I suspect. You could also take a more traditional cross platform approach, which involves setting up a GNU gcc toolchain from linaro with your favourite editor/IDE and required GUI dependencies. Haven't done either, though, so can't offer solid advice. An alternative with much less set-up effort - you can write, compile and run code of almost any language and GUI framework directly on the Beagleboard itself, especially if the project is small. Just install package 'build-essential' (assuming we're talking about a C/C++ application), the development packages for your chosen GUI framework (e.g. 'qtbase5-dev' for QT) and your favourite Linux editor/IDE. -- Kind regards, Tarmo -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
