/documentation/creating-projects-and-targets

Note: When you add a new project, you must select an empty folder.

  Chose any name, desc, and path, and set the platform to netbook-lpia-moblin2
  For this tutorial, I used the following values:
   Project name: clutter_apps
   Project desc: testing apps
   Project path: ~/src/app_example
   Platform: netbook-lpia-moblin2
   Target name: helloworld
   Functional sets: Select app-devel-environment. This automatically selects appframework, applications, x, x-dev, core, and core-dev.

The target file system is located under the project file system. On your workstation you can find the target file system in:
     <path to project>/targets/fs/<name of target>/

Open a terminal to the target file system. In Image Creator select your target and click the Terminal button. Image Creator will open a terminal chroot-ed to the target directory. Inside this terminal install the clutter development package:

In the target terminal:

/documentation/creating-image-target-device
For this tutorial, I created a live image and named it helloworld.img

Check to ensure that your CPU supports hardware virtualization.

Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM

(For me, virtualization was not enabled. I enabled it through the BIOS.)

• Click Launch VM button
• Select helloworld.img
• Click OK. A qemu/KVM window will launch. If it does not, check the terminal where Image Creator was started for error information.
• Press Enter. The kernel will load and the image will boot in the virtual environment.

• Click inside the qemu/KVM window to give it focus.
• Hover your cursor to the left edge of the desktop and a menu will slide out
• Click the terminal icon.
• In the terminal in the qemu/KVM window start HelloWorld:
$ cd moblin2/sample_apps.git/helloworld
$ ./helloworld

Note: The helloworld app will pop up and start doing its thing. In order to exit the qemu/KVM window, press ctrl + alt. This will allow you to click the 'X' in the upper right hand corner.

With the helloworld target selected, click the terminal icon in Image Creator.
Note: Make sure you have gdb installed on your target.
