I think there's a bit of confusion here.  Building 'helloword'
does not create a useful embedded environment, i.e. you can't
run it on target/embedded hardware directly.  IIRC you are
trying to deploy (keyword!) this on an OMAP platform.  This
means that you'll need to build something more substantial
that has all the base pieces required to get Linux running
on that hardware.

I'd suggest that you try building something like 'console-image'
This *will* create files in the tmp/deploy/... tree that you've
been told to use.  Once you figure out how to get those files
onto your target and run them, then you can experiment with
adding additional packages, etc.
