Create and Build the Application # + +In general, you can create and build an application many different ways. +Tools and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) exist in various +scenarios that allow you to pick from whatever methodology or workflow +with which you are comfortable. + +A simple application you can experiment with is the standard +"hello world" application. +For information on how to get set up and then clone the Git repository +for the "Hello World" application, see the +"[Setup](../../../../../docs/devguides/en/dev/reference/xds/part-1/4-1_build-first-app-setup.html)" +section. + +Key to developing an application suited for your target hardware is the +Standard Software Development Kit (SDK) mentioned in the +"[Get Ready to Create Your Application](./app-workflow-prep-app.html)" +section. +For information on the Standard SDK used with the Yocto Project and with +the AGL Project, see the +"[Yocto Project Application Development and Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK)](https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.4.4/sdk-manual/sdk-manual.html) Manual". + +You can develop your application a number of ways. +The following list describes several: + +* **Build the Application Using XDS:** + You can use the AGL X(cross) Development System (XDS) + to build your application: + + * Use the XDS command line tool. + For information on how to build the "Hello World" application using the XDS + command line, see the + "[Build using command line tool](../../../../../docs/devguides/en/dev/reference/xds/part-1/4-2_build-first-app-cmd.html)" + section. + + * Use the XDS Dashboard. + For information on how to build the application using the XDS Dashboard, see the + "[Build using XDS Dashboard](../../../../../docs/devguides/en/dev/reference/xds/part-1/4-3_build-first-app-dashboard.html)" + section. + +* **Build the Application Using a Stand-Alone SDK:** + Nothing prevents you from using a Standard SDK completely outside of the + AGL Project development environment to build your application. + Here are a couple of methods: + + * Install Docker and create a container that has your SDK installed. + The container is a stable environment where you can build applications. + See the + "[Setting Up a Docker Container](./docker-container-setup.html)" + section for information on how to install Docker and create a container + that has your SDK installed. + + * Use the popular Eclipse IDE configured to work with the Yocto Project. + See the + "[Developing Applications Using Eclipse](https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.4.4/sdk-manual/sdk-manual.html#sdk-eclipse-project)" + section in the Yocto Project Application Development and Extensible + Software Development Kit (eSDK) Manual. + +* **Build the Application Using Your Own Methodology:** + Use any method you are familiar with to create your application. + Many development tools and workflows exist that allow you to + create applications. |
