New to Beagleboard

Hi All,
I am very new for beagleboard. Just got my beagle board-xm. I am
wondering is there any IDE that I can use for beagleboard? As far as i
know, the task that we can do with the beagleboard is to boot it using
linux but any part from there, how can we make use of the other
hardware or peripheral?

Please help.

Thanks.
Nicky.

Its been a while since I answered one of these, so for a refresher…

You can use Eclipse: http://www.lvr.com/eclipse1.htm

You can use CCSv5, which is a TI-customized Eclipse: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Code_Composer_Studio_v5

You can use DS5, which is an ARM-customized Eclipse: http://www.arm.com/ds5, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTZTZejRX38

Linux provides you everything you need to connect to hardware or add-on peripherals: http://www.beagleboard.org/~arago/education/presentations/Learning_Linux_Tops_Down.pdf
