# Develop an application

After you’re comfortable running sample applications, you’re ready to start building your own. The QCC74x SDK provides everything you need to create custom firmware for your device.

Whether you’re using a Windows or Linux computer, the SDK supports a consistent workflow.

- Set up your development environment with the required tools.
- Create a new project or change an existing sample.
- Use CMake to configure and build your application.
- Flash and debug your firmware on the QCC74xM board.
