We all have to start somewhere!

As it happens, I was hoping to work on a Raspberry Pi4 project, and have 
been looking at adding cameras and displays. Sadly/ironically I will be 
working on a different project which involves an nVidia Jetson Nano - so 
I'll have to look-up CUDA (apparently it is not a car, nor is it a fish 
that I'd be happy to help you eat...)

The question I wanted to ask/suggestion to make: is there a 'development 
environment' which enables development on a 'bigger PC', for later 
delivery=download to the SBC? It might make coding and unit-testing a 
bit easier (although perhaps not when specific (display) hardware enters 
the picture).
