[Buildroot] add application for an ARM

[Buildroot] add application for an ARM

[Tony Mozi]

Hi all,
Currently, I do the cross-compilation of linux for an ARM.
Well, I create some .exe like 'hello', ... and I need to do './hello' to execute it. It is not the problem.
I want to use the power of the ARM, like a Timer but I have no idea how to do. For example, I want to use a Timer in order to flash a Led.
Have you got an idea? a documentation?? a readme?

Sorry, but this question is out-of-topic on the Buildroot mailing list.
I'll give some answers, but please use other lists or forums for this
type of questions.

However, you may want to have a look at the documentation of the C
library, that you can use in your applications. See
<http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/index.html> for the
reference documentation. For an introduction, I'd suggest to buy some
"Linux system programming" book.

Concerning the LED, if your LED is properly supported by the kernel, it
has a corresponding directory in sysfs.

Regards,

Thomas
