Important note: There is currently a problem with Debian Wheezy and cross-platform tools installation. A new version of this video is available at: youtube.com/watch?v=T9yFyWsyyGk
Also see: exploringbeaglebone.com/chapter7 for a description on how to fix the problem under Wheezy and how to install the entire toolchain under Jessie.
This video introduces C/C++ cross-compilation on the BeagleBone platform, and is applicable to any embedded Linux development. I show the steps that are necessary to set up a toolchain, the Eclipse CDT environment and use the Target Management RSE (Remote System Environment) plugin to communicate with the BeagleBone. Finally, I demonstrate how you can set up a cross-platform debugging environment within Eclipse, where you can use gdbserver on the ARM device and gdb-multiarch on the client device to establish a full debugging environment.
This video supports Chapter 7 in the book "Exploring BeagleBone" -- please see more at exploringbeaglebone.com
