Standalone Mode App
###################


With the :ref:`standalone mode <target architecture>`, developers can build and deploy third-party libraries, executables, or custom applications beyond GStreamer pipeline development. Palette, SiMa’s software development toolkit, streamlines this process by providing a Linux SDK for cross-compilation. This document provides an overview of key concepts related to cross-compilation, environment configuration, and application deployment on SiMa devices.

In standalone mode, developers need to understand the following topics:

- :ref:`Setting up the cross-compilation environment <cross_compilation_setup>`
- :ref:`Compiling and deploying custom C/C++ applications <build_custom_app>`
- :ref:`Building third-party libraries <build_third_party_component>`
- :ref:`Run pipeline without using MPK tool <run_pipeline_without_mpk>`
- :ref:`Understand the MPK package structure <understand_mpk_package>`

Understanding these topics will help developers effectively utilize SiMa’s standalone capabilities for embedded computing.
