FW: Orocos dev-environments & targets

I agree. The idea of having free access to a powerful control systems
development framework is very attractive. I plan so acquire the
hardware, software, and references I need to become an Orocos
applications developer.


Can you recommend a minimum hardware/software setup I will need?

I guess the first question is, can I build and run everything in Cygwin
or do I need to have a dedicated Linux box running Redhat? I'd like to
dev under Cygwin and target a PC104 embedded Linux target.

What about books or web sites to help me learn what I need to know?

Is "Building Embedded Linux Systems" a good book? What about "Embedded
Software Development With Ecos"?

Thanks for your help,

Matt
