Freestanding Zephyr Application #5

Open nslowell opened 3 weeks ago

nslowell commented 3 weeks ago

Based on the documentation here: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/application/index.html

Is it possible to create a freestanding application using meta-zephyr?
Could an example be provided to assist? I can't get past the notion that the application will need zephyr first, but zephyr will need the application in order to build....what am I missing?

Does meta-zephyr install the zephyr cmake package somehow?

Zephyr is not general purpose OS to do multiple things. Its real time operating system to do specific job. Pls do check https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/introduction/index.html

To build your zephyr application with meta-zephyr pls refer following: https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-zephyr/tree/README.txt

I am well aware what Zephyr is. I am using their technical terminology included in the link I provided. Another term would be "out-to-tree application". Similarly to out-of-tree drivers, I am simply wondering if there's a way to build a zephyr application outside of the zephyr source.
