Hi Steve. I'm on a beaglebone black here myself. Yocto has packages for mono so you shouldn't have to go through the trouble of building it yourself if you are using Yocto. If using Debian I believe they also have packages for arm. I looked at running mono applications on the bbb but quickly ran into an issue where each instance of mono is using ~14MB of ram. With only 512MB of ram available this overhead was high enough that we've switched away from mono and back to c++11. I'd be interested in what you see for memory overhead when running on the embedded side. My testing so far when looking at memory is on the desktop side so I'm not sure if the memory overhead will be present on the embedded side.
