O/S and HW to run 4DIAC

As 4DIAC gets better, most O/S environments work with pre-compiled exe    

O/S currently:
  • Windows: Virtual Studio set-up is easier because Eclipse set-up uses cygwin, whose set-up is harder.  Majority of 4DIAC downloads are still from Windows.
  • Linux: Flavor used doesn't matter, Debian, Raspbian, Ubuntu, Cent OS etc. etc. Most documentation using Debian based packaging command. Favored by 4DIAC developers.
  • Mac (CACAO): Similar to Linux, but don't know anyone personally using, but often used by developers.
4DIAC Hardware comparison for hobbyist or a class:
  • Raspberry Pi models,  Several Raspberry Pi models supported and used in examples and real apps.
  • Beagle Board models, 4DIAC Trafic example uses Beagle Bone Black
  • Or donated HW
