Developing embedded application is not easy. Without a proper tool, doing compilation, library linking and editing program is troublesome.  Netbeans is popular and easy to use IDE. This article describes how to write C/C++ program and cross-compiling using Netbeans IDE for Raspberry Pi and WRTnode processor boards. Thus, developers can easily develop application with these boards. Applications may be robot control, making IoT gadgets and etc.

Both boards must run the SD image/firmware downloaded from below.
