I understand everyone can SSH into the board, and have a different session, but that is slow, and it makes it hard for us because our development boards typically stay at the school (where we don't have remote access through schools firewall). With cross-compiler tools set up I can give my students homework where they can write code at home, build it, push to github, and then we can test it on the board later - saves us a lot more time.

We only had 2 beaglebone this past season, a team owned and a mentor owned so it was really important for us to be able to develop off the target. Right now we only have one jetson, which is mentor owned. If we get things rolling on this, I will probably just donate it to my team, but it still means having one dev board and multiple programmers.

Plus, I haven't come across any real clear tutorials yet working with the jetson in a cross-compiled environment, so I decided to tackle the challenge.

Rock on. Keep us posted on how you end up doing with it. I toyed with Nvidia's cross compiling tools but I just got frustrated with them. I'm more of an admin and less of a programmer though so YMMV.
