I am not at all good with C. As I said I get the same, or more, productivity when I work with Assembly and rarely need debugging.
The SW and libraries I write are for my own use and don't have to follow any "standards, conventions or structures". Anarchic? Yes, but also very effective.

In fact, my first computer was an Ohio Scientific machine as well J May I ask/suggest why you don’t use C or GCC (Gnu C Compiler) as it is often referred to ? The Beaglebone comes with both GCC and Java/Javascript already installed. Just my two cents … From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of azzythehillbilly mir Sent: Monday, October 28, 2013 11:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [beagleboard] learning ARM assy with BBB Hi Forum, I have a problem and I am hoping that I kind soul will direct me whereby I am able to help myself get on my feet. This is a bit embarrassing, but here it goes. I got myself a BBB because I want to switch from using MCS-51 processors and the like. I have no formal schooling in processors or electronics. I started working on processors around 1980 when I got hold of an Ohio scientific and later an AppleII+. Later moved to Z80/Z8000/8086/68030 and similar as I started to formally design HW and SW for embedded systems. Never had to bother even with C so have been hacking merrily away with Assembly only. Rarely adding ( with difficulty) bits of code for floating point when my own extended math routines simply would not do. This works for me as I have learned to cram as much functionality as possible into limited resources. I can get working code written and debugged faster than most C coders can. I know nearly zero about Linux//Ubuntu/Fedora. Unless someone has worked on the simple old controllers one might not understand how exciting ( mouth watering even! ) it is to contemplate the peripherals this Sitara 3359 processor provides. I just need to get a jump start. Here is the problem, I want to write code for the Sitara-3359 and learn the nuts and bolts of low level programming (assy). I need some kind of a simple IDE Where I can take control of the processor from reset onwards ( barring un-by passable initializing code prewritten into the processor?). I have been searching all over the net for just that but come up frustrated by the huge number of names/acronyms and all. There are just too many branches to investigate. I get lost every time I try. For the moment I want merely to exercise the Sitara and study its responses, no desire to write any commercial application (with the possible exception of a camera interface for my telescopes). Please kindly somebody point me in the right directions. Once I have the correct IDE set up I can take over and dive into the details. No problem there.
