You have several ways to load your newly created application in the running system.

1/ download the application

You can download the executable file in the filesystem of your target.

- using serial line (yes, it can be handy with tiny files): you can use the rz/sz zmodem protocol: only your serial console is needed: no additional cable!

- using a mass storage volume: USB key or SD card. This is easy, you copy a file from your development host, remove the volume, mount the volume on your board and run the application. It can become annoying if the development cycle gets long...

- using the network: you have many choices but the obvious ones are ssh/scp or rsync once you have a set a IP address to your Ethernet port

2/ run the application remotely

This is the beauty of embedded Linux systems: you can use your network to mount a remote NFS volume on your target. No download cycle anymore: you develop, compile and run just like if you were on your regular machine. A little bit of setup is needed though.
