Let me put it another way. Porting the IDE could be a very useful
learning experience for you and your son. However it is not necessary,
and potentially a huge time sink. At least if I understand your posts
correctly. The Arduino controller can still be programmed via your
sons Linux PC. Once programmed, it does not matter where the code came
from, as long as it is running on the Arduino, and functioning correctly.
On the beaglebone side it gets a bit more complicated. You can compile
natively, or cross compile. In the end however, again it does not
matter really. So long as the code is there, and functioning
correctly. With that said, there is no Arduino IDE for the beagelbone,
to compile binaries for the beaglebone. This is where your son will
have to pick up another language. I would recommend C first, and C++
second. Since Arduino libraries seem to be loosely based on C++. Also
fundamental understanding of gcc toolchains, and the stdlib for Linux
is a must.
William,
Where do you find the info that the Arduino IDE isn't available for
BBB? Clearly it *is* available from the Debian repos. The real problem
is he needs a newer version that hasn't yet been released to sid or
jessie. I believe there is a newer version in experimental, don't
recall what version it is though. There is nothing to port...
