I went to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the early 90s, they had a Sandain image processor in the video lab then. I spent many all nighters patching that thing. It was actually part of why I wanted to go there. Someday I’ll have to get the VHS of that stuff into a digital format.

Enable ssh in your dockerfile and you are good to go there, see this one as an example:

Regarding headers/libs you would need to manage that yourself, I normally scp them down locally and add to my Intellisense paths.
Regarding the kernel that isn't something I've played with much, I've been able to load the source but I have not tried any debug scenarios there.

The Linux workload is designed to work with GCC today, so whatever standard level your GCC compiler supports is good.

The initial report from last year has interesting, if sadly unsurprising, background on how/why so many of these embedded devices have wound up this way.

I audited a security course at UW a few years back, and one evening Cutler stopped by as a guest lecturer.
