Process Overview

This section summarizes the steps required to build a MicroEJ Platform and obtain a binary file to deploy on a board.

The following figure shows the overall process. The first three steps are performed within the MicroEJ Platform builder. The remaining steps are performed within the C IDE.

The steps are as follow:

  1. Create a new MicroEJ Platform configuration project. This project describes the MicroEJ Platform to build (MicroEJ Architecture, metadata, etc.).
  2. Select which modules provided by the MicroEJ Architecture will be installed in the MicroEJ Platform.
  3. Build the MicroEJ Platform according to the choices made in steps 1 and 2.
  4. Compile a MicroEJ Application against the MicroEJ Platform in order to obtain an application file to link in the BSP.
  5. Compile the BSP and link it with the MicroEJ Application that was built previously in step 4 to produce a MicroEJ Firmware.
  6. Final step: Deploy MicroEJ Firmware (i.e. the binary application) onto a board.
