I was thinking of rigging something to compile the code and then send the executable over FTP with a script to run it, but I was hoping for a way that would allow me to easily run and debug it remotely. I might have to just go with that if I can't find another option. there isn't exactly active support for Mono anymore.

But you *can* have a setup that uses TFTP/NFS ( or even just NFS ) where the cross compile system ( a PC ) builds an executable in a shared directory that the BBB has access to. Then once built the executable could be run directly on the BBB. As far as remote debugging goes, I have no personal hands on with this yet, but understand that GDB in this context does not work properly yet. Having had experience with .NET personally, I also sought information on Mono on the distro I chose ( Debian wheezy ), and many of the runtimes seem to be missing. So, I instead chose to learn more about nodejs, and in this context nodejs at least for my own uses seems to be a more complete solution. Technically as long as the IDE lets you configure the various tools in it, you should be able to use it. For visual studio you would need to own a copy of a professional version ( recent copy ) and write or buy a plugin for it. Otherwise, you could use a makefile project and "rig" it to work. Eclipse is very flexible and should work, but you need to know a bit about how to set that up, and the toolchain you're using. Personally, I had been using code::blocks for GCC . . . but thats a bit different from Mono. I might work though . . .

Hard float being the one we ran into and had to recompile Mono with a patch. If you are talking about actually running the program via the IDE in debug mode where the IDE is on one box and the program itself is running on the BBB, I'm told this may be do-able but did not work for me. I tried this over a year ago, so I don't recall the details, but eventually gave up. I think the issue was that the debugger uses signals in a conflicting way. Check the Mono forum - I think there was some discussion of this. At the time I was looking at this there was no BBB, just BBW.. With the BBB and HDMI you ought to be able to run MonoDevelop directly on the BBB and debug within it. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
