There are many ways to develop applications for embedded Linux devices. The obvious method is to cross-compile on your host and debug on real hardware. This is probably how most people think of embedded development. But there are alternatives worth considering.

There may only be a handful of prototypes built or you may even want to start development before any hardware is available. In today's highly competitive environment waiting for hardware may delay a project and why not have your hardware and software teams working in parallel anyway?
