Application Development Workflow
################################
The application development workflow identifies procedures needed to create, build, and
run a |codename| microkernel or nanokernel application.
Before you build
----------------
* Check that your Linux host meets the minimum requirements specified in the |codename|
: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:`Creating an Application and Source Code Directory using the
CLI`
and add a Makefile
b) :ref:`Creating an Application Makefile`
2. Define the application's default kernel configuration using
:ref:`Defining the Application's Default Kernel Configuration`.
3. Define kernel configuration override options for the application
using :ref:`Overriding the Application's Default Kernel
Configuration`.
4. For a microkernel application, define objects as you develop code
using :ref:`Creating and Configuring an MDEF File for a Microkernel
Application`.
5. For all applications, define nanokernel objects as you need them in
code.
6. 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`
7. Build an application image.
* :ref:`Building an Application`
* :ref:`Rebuilding an Application`
8. To test the application image's functionality on simulated hardware
with QEMU, see :ref:`Running an Application`
9. To load an application image on a target hardware, see using :ref:`Platform`
documentation.
