Getting Started¶

We recommend starting by building the PUSopen^® library and examples. Pick the example that is similar to your target application and start prototyping from there. Please see the supplied README.md file for instructions on setting the environment variables before the build and the build process of the PUSopen^® library and example code. To avoid a try-and-fail approach to prototyping with PUSopen^®, we advise that you understand the basic concepts of CCSDS, ECSS PUS, and PUSopen^® from PUSopen® Overview.
