A Linux PC is recommended for development, and will be assumed for this documentation. For users in Windows or OSX we recommend virtualizing a Linux PC. Most of our boards run Debian and if you have no other distribution preference this is what we recommend.

It may be possible to develop using a Windows or OSX system, but this is not directly supported through Technologic. For development it is required to have some way to read/write disks without the OS mounting any filesystems and corrupting any direct disk access utilities. Development will also need a compiler, though most of our systems provide compilers which can be used on the target device itself which will work for application development. Kernel development will require a Linux PC to be available.
