Describing workflows for application development

The workflows for application development are similar to the ones we already saw for U-Boot and the Linux kernel back in Chapter 2, The BSP Layer.

How to do it...

We will see how the following development workflows are applied to application development:

  • External development

  • Working directory development

  • External source development

How it works...

External development

This is what we have been using on the recipes we saw before when building from the command line using a standalone toolchain, and also when using both the Eclipse and Qt Creator IDEs. This workflow produces binaries that have to be individually copied to the hardware to run and debug. It can be used in conjunction with the other workflows.

Working directory development

When the application is being built by the Yocto build system, we use this workflow to debug sporadic problems. However, it is not the recommended workflow for long developments. Note, though, that it is usually the first...
