  1. Change the directory to the example application project directory, which has a path similar to the following:

    <install_dir>/boards/<board_name>/<example_type>/<application_name>/armgcc

    For this example, the exact path is:

    <install_dir>/boards/evkmimx8ulp/demo_apps/hello_world/armgcc

  2. Type build_debug.bat at the command-line or double-click the build_debug.bat file in Windows Explorer to perform the build. The output is as shown in Figure 2.
