Visual Studio C++ with Linux debugger

Post by Robert »

Is it possible to write software for the Revolution PI including the GPIO with Microsoft Visual Studio C++ with Linux debugger ? This is possible with the standard Raspberry PI with cross platform debugging. I want to configurate the digital in and outputs with the standard wiringPiI.h module in Visual Studio.

Please read the blog articles about the IO technology we use and also tutorials about IO in order to understand the totally different concept of a process iamge of a PLC compared to GPIOs of an ebedded system.
To shorten this:
Yes you can use C++ and VS
No you can't use this library for IOs and you don't need a library because reading and writing IOs is as simple as reading and writing a serial file from disk. There is a C header file for the more complex IOCTL calls an every system delivered and you find this material also in the tutorials and the download section.
