Rodney: A.) This is not your grandfather's PIC.
B.) The BBB is intended/supported for a Linux environment. You really need to understand Linux, specifically embedded Linux to be successful. C.) Yes, you can write code, C or Assembler, down on the metal, but then you are re-inventing and re-writing everything, which is missing the whole point of using Linux. D.) If you buy into the Linux thing, then it usually involves using the GCC compiler, and an IDE like Eclipse, and all the associated tools, and writing programs to run in a Linux environment. E.) You can do real time like things on the BBB, but the Linux supplied is not a Real Time OS. RT variants are available. Or, a lightly loaded Linux will probably do just fine. F.) Yes, you can write things like button de-bouncers. --- Graham == -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
