Cross-Compiling for BeagleBone Black on Windows?

I have tried quite a few things on the internet but all seems to be not working when I cross compile on eclipse (with GNU MCU ARM and Sourcery Lite ), the binary on the BB-Black gives segmentation fault. Did someone try cross-compiling in recent time?

I created a repository providing an example how to cross-compile for the beagle bone black on both Linux and Windows (MacOS should be possible as well) with CMake. Also includes Eclipse project files and instructions on how to perform remote debugging with the TCF agent:

Now, in 2020 it is much simpler. Download "Code Composer Studio IDE for Windows Host" from https://www.ti.com/. It is an Eclipse based IDE, for many TI targets. It includes the compiler too.
