If you write python, check out the libraries from @Adafruit_Industries , get gpio, analog and PWM at your fingertips.

There is also pybbio from Alexander Hiam

I’ll second @Samuel_Bucquet : PyBBIO by @Alex_Hiam is excellent: “Python library for Arduino-style hardware IO support on the Beaglebone” https://github.com/graycatlabs/PyBBIO/wiki

I should have been more specific. Looking for C++ libraries and such. Really green with programing, but decided to dive right into C++.

I program my BBB and BBG entirely in Java, and use a small set of utilities by Mike Bremford described here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/beagleboard/xgeIe5PwfYc
The source code is found here: http://pastebin.com/af3CRU5r

Why not mraa? http://iotdk.intel.com/docs/master/mraa/index.html

I was not aware that the Intel Edison tools supported Beaglebone Black. Would anyone happen to know where it is possible to download a libmraajava.so for ARM (Beaglebone)?

@Mathew_Alexander YouTube Deric Malloy + Beagle Bone. He does a lot of his stuff in C++
