You download a VMWare beta "fusion" for Intel-Mac:
< http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/fusion/ >

Then you download an Ubuntu ISO or a VMWare Ubuntu application:
< http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download? 
action=show&redirect=download >
or
< http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/ >  then search for  
ubuntu .

OpenEmbedded / BitBake; while they don't go together necessarily,  
they seem to in this case.

No.  What I'm saying is that you can get up to speed much more  
quickly and reliably in a VM running Ubuntu Linux than you can under  
OSX.

Since it sounds like you're a noob to most programming, you might as  
well get going with Linux.

Hope this helps! - MLD
