Application development

Application development has two distinct phases:

Developing and debugging your application. For this purpose, you can:

Develop using Digi Application Development Environment: You can use Digi Application Development Environment to build your applications and remotely debug the code in your device with precompiled images. You can start from Step 4: Create your first applications with Digi Application Development Environment.
Develop using Qt Creator. Qt Creator is an integrated development environment (IDE) that provides you with tools to design and develop applications with the Qt application framework.
Develop using command line. Using a Digi Embedded Yocto toolchain, you can build your applications for your platform.

Building your application with Digi Embedded Yocto so it is included in your root file system.
In this stage, you must implement Yocto recipes to build your specific application and build a Digi Embedded Yocto project as explained in System development.

Note Application development is only supported for 64-bit Linux development machines. Digi recommends you use a PC running a recent Ubuntu distribution.
