Adafruit webIDE updated to support BeagleBone and BeagleBone Black
The latest version of the Adafruit webIDE now supports the BeagleBone and BeagleBone Black. We’ve been working out many of the issues with this installer the last few days, and it appears ready to be released into the wild. The installer is specifically designed to work with the default Angstrom Linux distribution that is pre-installed on the BeagleBone’s. You may want to update to the latest version of Angstrom prior to installing the webIDE as well.
You can find the instructions on how to install it in the Adafruit Learning System’s webIDE tutorial. We’ve also created a new installation video to help as well:
If you run into any issues with installing the webIDE on the BeagleBone, or with any issues running the webIDE, please open a ticket in the issues section of our GitHub repository.
