How do I use the SDK?

mobilex1122 · 06-07-2025, 01:28 PM

Hello.

I would like to make some apps for my pocketbook but i'm unable to correctly set it up. I spend almost a week on this with no luck. To be honest I'm not a good C++ dev. My primary language is java. Could someone help me set this SDK up? (I use Linux Arch for the build process)

Thanks.

Hi mobilex1122,

I collected some references in taranis documentation, see CONTRIBUTING.md#references. The first one has a minimal application documented line by line.

The same file documents how to build taranis. Taranis also has a CI build job here: build.yaml. If you read and study the scripts referred in both file, you'll learn a way to set up a development environment with a meson based toolchain.

Building locally is a good exercise.

As third step, I'll recommend studying the source code of an application you know and like to understand some features of the SDK. Once more taranis is a good choice
