To make the documentation readable from the source I want to get rid of the substitutions for the project name an code name. This does not add any values and makes it unreadable when looking at the text files directly. It also causes some issues when people use those without actually knowing what they represent, resulting in some weird and redundant language.

Application Development Workflow
|
|
################################
|
|
|
|
The application development workflow identifies procedures needed to create, build, and
|
|
run a Zephyr microkernel or nanokernel application.
|
|
|
|
Before you build
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* Check that your Linux host meets the minimum requirements specified in the
|
|
:ref:`quick_start`.
|
|
|
|
* Check that environment variables have been configured correctly as outlined
|
|
in :ref:`apps_common_procedures`.
|
|
|
|
Workflow
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
1. Create a directory structure for your Zephyr application.
|
|
|
|
a) :ref:`create_directory_structure`
|
|
|
|
2. Add a Makefile
|
|
|
|
b) :ref:`create_src_makefile`
|
|
|
|
3. Define the application's default kernel configuration using
|
|
:ref:`Defining the Application's Default Kernel Configuration`.
|
|
|
|
4. Define kernel configuration override options for the application
|
|
using :ref:`Overriding the Application's Default Kernel
|
|
Configuration`.
|
|
|
|
5. For a microkernel application, define objects as you develop code
|
|
using :ref:`Creating and Configuring an MDEF File for a Microkernel
|
|
Application`.
|
|
|
|
6. For all applications, define nanokernel objects as you need them in
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
7. Develop source code and add source code files to the src directory.
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`Understanding Naming Conventions`
|
|
* :ref:`Understanding src Directory Makefile Requirements`
|
|
* :ref:`Adding Source Files and Makefiles to src Directories`
|
|
|
|
8. Build an application image.
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`Building an Application`
|
|
* :ref:`Rebuilding an Application`
|
|
|
|
9. To test the application image's functionality on simulated hardware
|
|
with QEMU, see :ref:`Running an Application`.
|
|
|
|
10. To load an application image on a target hardware, see using
|
|
:ref:`Platform` documentation.
