 # Deploy the Application to the Board #

-(app-template).
-An app-template is an application framework that contains

+Many options exist for controlling your target and copying your compiled application to the target.
+Details are target-specific and cannot be explained in detail here.
+
+Suffice it to say that if you compile your application on your build host and you have
+an image running on your target hardware, you must employ some method to copy the application
+to the target.
+Several general methods exist:
+
+  * Write the application to a storage device that both the build host and
+    the target hardware support.
+    This could be an SD card or a flash drive.
+    Be sure to format the drive as FAT32 to eliminate file ownership and permission issues.
+
+  * Remotely mount the target's file system on the build host with the Network File System
+    (NFS) or Samba.
+
+  * Commit compiled code from the build host to a shared repository and update the
+    target from that repository.
+
+  * Use remote commands from a host over a network, such as `scp` (i.e. secure copy).
+
+  * You can set up your build environment to leverage a procedure's
+    [application template](../../../../../docs/devguides/en/dev/reference/sdk-devkit/docs/part-2/2_4-Use-app-templates.html)
+    (app-template).
+    An app-template is an application framework that contains
+    [CMake](https://cmake.org/) macros that abstract deploying the application.
+    For example, with a proper build environment, you can run the following
+    to deploy your application:
+
+    ```
+    $ make widget-target-install
+    ```
+
+    **NOTE:**
+    The previous command uses `scp` to copy and install the widget to a pre-defined target board.
+
+Once you have the application copied to the target, it must provide a way to
+initiate operating system commands.
+To initiate operating system commands, you can do one of the following:
+
+  * Connect a keyboard and display directly to the target.
+
+  * Use ``ssh`` from a network-connected host to run commands on the target remotely.
+
+  * Use a network for communication between the build host and the target.
+    This method works nicely when the build host and the target hardware are geographically apart.
