I'll admit I'm a newbie at this. I'm following Derek Molloy's book and
videos, specifically chapter 7 in his book,
http://exploringbeaglebone.com/chapter7/
He uses a windows host and VirtualBox running debian to set up a tool chain
using Eclipse CDT and QEMU to write & debug code for the Beaglebone,
including remote debug on the BB. The BB is running an arm hard float
debian. I'll post a progress report when I get it working,
