EBC Exercise 00 Beagle as a Workstation

The purpose of this exercise is to introduce you to the BeagleBoard as a workstation. Take some time to explore it.


 * 1) Check out the various menus.  See what's there.
 * 2) Open a terminal window and try some commands.

We'll be spending some time in the exercises folder. It contains all the support files. Try this:

beagle$ cd ~/exercises beagle$ ls beagle$ git pull

The exercises folder is a git repository. The last command above checks to be sure the repository is up to date. Feel free to explore the various folders.

Try: beagle$ cd ~/exercises beagle$ gedit helloworld.c & beagle$ gcc hellowworld.c beagle$ ./a.out

Congratulations! You've just compiled and run your first BeagleProgram.
