application and select Next. Note: If the domain is not suitable for your application, click + create new to add a new domain and specify the operation system and processor according to your requirement and click Next.

- Import the source files
With the Application component created for the specific processor domain of a fixed platform and the source files imported, you can build or configure your building settings.
