I’m a hacker and tester rather than a hardcore developer but I use tools comparable to Tim’s on my Linux laptop and/or desktop and have exercised the whole development chain. Works great.
There’s no technical reason these tools couldn’t be used in Raspberry Pi OS on a Pi —- but I’d choose a Pi4 with at least 2GB (preferably 4GB or more) of memory. Fortunately I already have spare boards on hand since Pi’s have become as scarce as hens teeth locally and online.
These days I have Windows 10 running only as a virtual machine. It wouldn’t be my first choice for a development platform anyway. OTOH, the Windows Subsystem for Linux keeps getting better and better.
Finally, I’ve occasionally cross-compiled various programs on my x86 boxes with the Raspberry Pi ARM as target. This includes building the entire kernel in less than an hour. Horsepower makes a difference! I’ve never tried building the moOde ISO this way but ….
I’ve also tried emulating a Pi-like machine on an x86 host so I could execute the resulting ARM code but never got to a useable result.
Party on!

Kent
