If you search the Beagleboard forums you'll find this question has been answered a few times fairly recently. As far as QEMU is concerned, that is not needed unless you are looking to set up an emulation environment on the host system to test code before deploying it.
Ex: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=rm&ogbl#all/FMfcgxwJXVJDNpwqgTFZtTcgKNcksqrP The main thing you need is the Toolchain for the BB. https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-7/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ The best cross-platform option I have found is to use Eclipse, but you could use Visual Studio Code as well. For Windows specific, you could use Visual Studio but you may be limited to having to build on that target (BB) remotely which defeats the purpose of cross-compiling. The best bet for Windows and Visual Studio is to use VisualGDB but that is at an extra cost. https://visualgdb.com/ There are some pre-build BB toolchains listed at the following link for Windows dev but this is a bit dated. https://gnutoolchains.com/beaglebone/ Good luck, Jon On Mon, Sep 21, 2020 at 8:18 AM Dennis Lee Bieber <dennis.l.bie...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, 20 Sep 2020 18:31:04 -0700 (PDT), in > gmane.comp.hardware.beagleboard.user > nazriirfan2016-re5jqeeqqe8avxtiumw...@public.gmane.org wrote: > > >I'm Nazri.I'm new to beaglebone.I want to do cross compile for beaglebone > >black.For my understanding,I need to install linux compiler at Pc and > >create boot and rfs at SD card and install at beaglebone black.I'm > confuse > >in beagleboard getting started note that need to download the Debian > >image.It still need to do download the Debian image if I plan to apply > >cross compiler? > > {Please... some white space... paragraphs, space after punctuation, > etc. That tight packed text reads like a transcription of Pinkie Pie [My > Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]} > > The recommendation in the "Getting Started" page is to ensure the > Beagle has an up-to-date operating system.
