Where do I place my "Hello, World!" package in the BB/Angstrom build tree?

Like many others I am looking for an example similar to:

http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Build-system-overview/Hello-world-tutorial/111.html

for the BB/Angstrom environment. I’ve searched all suggested places and not found a specific answer. I just want to build my software into an image that gets copied onto the SD card.

Is there any documentation on an equivalent location in BB/Angstrom for “user.collection/packages” mentioned in the link above?

If anyone can point me to the pieces I need I will gladly consolidate them and post a comprehensive example once I figure it out.

I think it should be fairly straightforward to use the existing
gumstix document as a basis for a beagle board version.

Thanks for the reply.

I understand what you’re saying and I have made some progress in that direction, I’ve started by putting my code in it’s own directory in the ${OETREE} directory.

I was just wondering if there was a ‘user.collection’ equivalent location for BB/Angstrom which would be more ‘correct’.

If not, I will just write up what I’ve done from where I am doing it.
