2.7 Developing an Application

This section gives a detail explanation on stack, peripherals and other documentation.

After completing the installation of tool chain and Harmony components as mentioned in Getting Started with Software development, refer the following documentation to start developing an application :

BLE Stack Documenation: Guides user on what APIs are required to implement wireless BLE application.
Device Support Library Documentation: It gives common system services like device driver library, persistence data server library, standalone bootloader and Bootloader services. These services are created as components in Harmony.
Application Example Documentation
