Helllo, 
     I am planning to get started with the BBB.  I want to develop  code in 
C or C++  on a PC, with Eclipse, compile and download to the BBB.   I dont 
want to get into the Eclipse debate, just so happens that I am familiar 
with it, and find it very powerful, so that is way I want to go.  I know it 
has been mentioned in this series of posts, 
     Can somebody please give a step by step list of instructions, or 
possibly link, to how to get the full Eclipse toolchain setup and 
configured for use with the BBB.   It would be really helpful if  there 
were some example projects to help get started especially a project that 
uses the gpio.
Thanks in advance,
Mike.
