Development using Netbeans

Angstrom comes with DropBear SSH a lightweight SSH. But it is recommended to use OpenSSH instead.

To install openssh:

opkg -force-removal-of-dependent-packages remove dropbear
opkg install openssh openssh-sftp-server

Tim Pitman has a neat article that explains how to setup Netbeans for remote development on a MAC.

To share the rootfs on Windows:

1. Configure samba (/etc/samba/smb.conf) to allow access to the rootfs. You can do this by adding the following in the "Share Definitions" section.
   

   [public]
   path = /
   public = yes
   writable = yes
   printable = no

   
   
2. Map \\BEAGLEBOARD\public as a network drive in Windows.
