This might be a stupid question, but if I use the toolchain from the
buildroot, will the executable that I compile be ready to run on the
gumstix? My assumption, or belief, or thought is yes. I just want to be
positive so if i try it and hit a brick wall I can rule that out.
I'm soooo glad I went down this road. I've already switched from C++ to C,
read two books started another, begun coding in C and totally redesigned my
application. All in two days.
BTW any good book recommendations for building apps for Gumstix or embedded
apps?
I read the C++ pocket guide, as a refresher and OReillys Programming
Embedded Systems and I have identified a few chapters in the Advanced
Programming in the Unix Environmet that I want to skim/read.
I thought about picking up O'Riellys book on Device Drivers.
